Erasmus University Campus
The Erasmus University campus is a product of the 1960´s, a collection of individually designed concrete buildings and parking lots.The redesign of the campus provides a new sense of place, orientation, and identity as well as a strategy that allowed for future expansion.
Two axes organise the campus. One of these, the University Plaza, acts as a main street, housing all the facilities such as a bookshop, restaurants, supermarket and a cafe. Parking is located underneath the Plaza. A new restaurant, exhibition space, and theatre are combined in a central student pavilion. The water management concept provided a central pond, that creates a sustainable ecological structure for the campus.
