Rhijnspoor Building earns highest BREEAM award for an educational building in the Netherlands

Bâtiment universitaire construit avec un excellent niveau BREEAM : (Excellent) aux Pays-Bas (Amsterdam).

deux concepts dont le premier est intéressant : le bâtiment doit pouvoir être adapté en fonction de l'évolution des technologies.

The Team RSG-designed Rhijnspoor Building in Amsterdam was recently awarded a BREEAM Excellent certification with 4 stars - the highest score ever given to an educational building in the Netherlands. The sustainable building was designed for the Amsterdam University building of Applied Sciences and features a solar aluminum facade, intelligent lighting and climate control, a green roof and even housing for the local swallows.

The 13-story building and surrounding 6-story block sits at the entrance of the University, serving as an archetype of the University's dedication to sustainability for those entering the campus.

The building was designed with two principles in mind: first, that it be advanced enough that it can adapt to the changing technology of the future.

The second goal for the building was that it be rooted in sustainability.

The urban block and building are connected via a massive atrium and each floor of the building will feature a terrace that opens up into the atrium.

The green innovations in the building mean that it uses 40 percent less energy than is recommended by Dutch building regulations.
