The new education building on the Woudestein campus opened its doors on Tuesday. Students attend lectures there and use the study spaces. Some just come to look around and take photos. \u201cIt feels like you\u2019re in an amazing tree house.\u201d<\/p>\n

When you enter the Langeveld Building, it looks green and natural. The staircase meanders through the middle of the room, next to metres-high tree trunks that serve as pillars. Seating and tables surround a square \u2018garden\u2019 with a tree on the ground floor. Rows of lush dragon ivy adorn the walls like a green waterfall.<\/p>\n

The building has everything students need: plenty of sunlight, desks and chairs for hours of studying, a snack wall, a drinking water fountain, a coffee machine on every floor, and screens displaying public transport departure times.<\/p>\n

A student takes a selfie on the first-floor staircase. Next to her, another student takes photos of the ground floor. They\u2019re not the only ones who are impressed: Miguel Pinto, a first-year student in the International Business Administration programme, admires the building\u2019s interior. \u201cIt\u2019s brilliantly designed\u201d, he says enthusiastically. \u201cThe combination of functionality and beauty is astounding. The wooden look, the trees and the plants make you feel like you\u2019re in an amazing tree house.\u201d<\/p>\n

He likes the staircase the most. \u201cIt\u2019s the centrepiece of the building; all the spaces are built around it. From the staircase you have a view of the different floors and all the greenery. It makes it fun to take the stairs instead of the lift.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t
