Public facilities western part Kop van Leeuwenhoek

Informatie
Kadans has realised a multi-company building for laboratories and offices in this part of the Kop van Leeuwenhoek. Also a new building for Janssen Biologics has been realised by Red Company.The university has opened the public parking garage Ehrenfestweg in the summer of 2022.
In order to give the public space as much green and water as possible, the infrastructure has been kept limited in the design. The greenery gives way to biodiversity, but is also intended for staying and relaxing. The banks in this area are sloping, which gives a nice variety of plants.
The area gained three new bridges in 2025, linking it to the city for cyclists and pedestrians.
April 2024: The newly constructed water that flows in front of Janssen Biologics is almost accompanied by green banks and seating areas.
