Rosalind Franklin Square / Campus Square

The vibrant heart of the Leiden Bio Science Park
Over the coming years, the Leiden Bio Science Park will be transformed from a business park into a campus. The campus square will be the heart of this area. Here, the university, businesses and the city of Leiden get together.

Location

Information

In the summer of 2024, the time has finally come. The Campus Square is ready for use. A grassy sunbathing area with seating areas invites students, staff at the park and residents of the city.

The square is located in the middle of the Park More residential area, which is currently under construction, the iconic Lecture Hall Building and the brand new Gorlaeus building of the Faculty of Science. The main entrances to both buildings are located on this square, which is now officially called Rosalind Franklinplein.

The grassy area is adjacent to a square pavement on the west side. On the south and east side there are rows of trees, so temperature remains pleasantly cool in the summer.  An elevation in the grass surface gives it the atmosphere of an amphitheatre and can also serve as a stand.

The Campusplein at the Leiden Bio Science Park can therefore be used for all kinds of activities for students, employees and residents from the area. Think, for example, of a science festival, performances and sports activities.
