Kop van Leeuwenhoek

Public facilities western part Kop van Leeuwenhoek
In the Kop van Leeuwenhoek, formerly the site of the university’s sports fields, three buildings have been completed in recent years. A well-designed public realm has also been created, with plenty of space for water and greenery, ensuring the area is easily accessible.

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.
