The design of the new housing project for the Erasmus University College by Erick van Egeraat consists out of five stories and houses a lecture hall, reading rooms, tutor rooms and offices for the staff of EUC. Located at the Nieuwe Markt in the center of Rotterdam, this new university concept will be implemented in the former 1923 library building which currently houses the Museum of Education. More images and architects’ description after the break.
After an intensive study commissioned by City of Rotterdam and the Erasmus University of Rotterdam, the former municipal library building to select a proper building to house the EUC, a city monument from 1923, was chosen to house the future EUC. The design, made by Erick van Egeraat, will display the original qualities of the building. The design will be light and fresh, a modern educational faculty in an astonishing monument.
