Modernising an iconic Leiden University building

Location

Information

From the summer of 2022, this building from the 70s has undergone a major renovation. This was done in parts, so that education could continue. In the new academic year of 2023 there will be a completely renewed dish with better insulation and more modern lecture halls. The entrance has also been moved, so that it now connects nicely with the Campusplein. A wide, inviting staircase leads to the first floor.

Furthermore, the building has a new balcony ring, with seating on the balcony edge, and a new conservatory. In the summer of 2024, the restaurant will also be modernized.
The Lecture Hall Building has now a connection to the new ATES (Heat and Cold Storage) system, in order to be able to heat and cool sustainably.
