Extension Inholland University reaches highest point (NL)

6 June 2007

Construction works on the extension of Inholland University Rotterdam designed by Erick van Egeraat have reached their highest point. After three weeks of around-the-clock works, the structural core has reached its ultimate height of more than 62 meters.

Erick van Egeraat based the design of the extension on his original building, realised in 2000. Three rectangular volumes, shifted and varying in size, are stacked on top of each other. The topmost volume is elevated above the existing building, offering panoramic views of both, the harbour and the city centre.

The extension comprises 15.000 m² across 15 storeys. The building will be completed in the summer of 2008.
