Faculty of Science, Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Amsterdam – 2002 - 2009

The design for the complex involves the integration of a comprehensive faculty building within the Science Park in Amsterdam East. The contract was acquired through an international competition. The near 65.000m ² building was developed in close collaboration with Architecture Studio HH and Meyer and Van Schooten Architects. The building sections A, B and D primarily house laboratories and each have individual identities. The design task for section C called for a large and differentiated building that would achieve the right balance between unity and diversity. Section C mainly consists of offices and it was designed as an elongated “floating” building with two semi-enclosed inner courtyards. The main public space is formed in between the courtyards. Building C acts as the connector to the other sections making the building a unified whole with a certain monumental quality.

Interior design - In the open workstations are semi private office suites, created for four to six people by the placement of tall cabinets. The custom made cabinet walls are double sided and offer open and closed shelf-space, lockers for storing personal belongings, as well as black-or whiteboards. The bamboo framework binds these components together into a whole cabinet. Also the desks have been designed with bamboo tabletops. For the the 'common rooms' users could choose from several flavours.

Building D is one of three laboratory buildings, which surround office wing C. The building houses various laboratory types such as biology, chemistry and physics labs, in particular the latest must withstand severe vibration requirements. It also houses a number of educational rooms.
