Kop van Leeuwenhoek

Public facilities western part Kop van Leeuwenhoek
In the Kop van Leeuwenhoek, where the university's sports fields used to be, three buildings have been erected recently. In order to keep it easily accessible, the construction of the public space has also started, in consultation with the municipality.

Location

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.

April 2024: The newly constructed water that flows in front of Janssen Biologics is almost accompanied by green banks and seating areas.
Viewed from the Einsteinweg there is a nice glimpse of the new building of Janssen Biologics via this street. The water on the left has sloping banks for higher biodiversity. (Photo 1 May 2022, photo 2 September 2022)

September 2022: The banks along this water in the Kop van Leeuwenhoek slope diagonally. This ensures a higher variety of plants and animals. Soon, several native species will be planted here. On the left the Ehrenfestgarage and on right Plus Ultra.
