Utrecht has ca. 380,000 inhab­it­ants, mak­ing it the fourth city in the Neth­er­lands. Nearly a quarter of the inhab­it­ants are students.

Loc­ated east of the city, the uni­ver­sity cam­pus used to con­sist of detached build­ings, float­ing in green mead­ows. In the 1990s the uni­ver­sity decided to densi­fy the sprawl accord­ing to a mas­ter­plan by OMA. A cluster of unusu­al fac­ulty build­ings was cre­ated, with the Edu­cat­ori­um by OMA and the Uni­ver­sity Lib­rary by Wiel Arets as highlights.

 

Over the fol­low­ing dec­ades, some of those build­ings were altered, oth­ers exten­ded, and some new struc­tures have been erec­ted as well. The former Uithof uni­ver­sity cam­pus now calls itself Utrecht Sci­ence Park.

Vis­it the restruc­tured uni­ver­sity cam­pus with us! Walk around the cam­pus, find out about its his­tory and future and have a look inside some of the buildings.
