Forum is the unique eye-catcher of Wageningen Campus. Here, educational facilities, restaurant facilities and the Wageningen UR library are brought together on a grand scale.
Forum houses the main part of all educational facilities. All BSc and MSc courses of Wageningen University use this beautiful building. A part of Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences is also located in Forum. Forum offers lecture halls, teaching labs, and the library.
The heart of this castle-like building contains a restaurant, a grand café and various shops centred on the central courtyard called ‘Agora’. An ideal place to work, study, use the internet and meet colleagues and friends.
Quist Wintermans Architects compares Forum to a castle. This castle is square and monolithic from the outside. On the inside however, the building is complex, containing courtyards and a large diversity of functions and activities. At the stairwells, large slots have been created that emphasize the separate parts of the building. On the top floor all parts are connected and the roof is the same height everywhere. This way, the building doesn’t separate into its different sections, but remains a monolith when seen from the outside.
The students of Wageningen University and Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences are the main users of Forum. The building also houses the Student Service Centre (SSC), the International Office, the Student Deans, the Library, Language Services (formerly CENTA), Wageningen Futurepoint (contact point for students and alumni of Wageningen University), the Biology Office, a number of student associations and the Wageningen Student Union (WSO).
The offices and research laboratories of Wageningen UR are not located in Forum. They can be found in other buildings of or off-campus, within walking or cycling distance of Forum.
