The extension will enable the consolidation of all of the Rotterdam Business School’s economics departments under one roof. The 14,000 m² expansion of the existing faculty complex will result in a combined floor area of 35,000 m² for the daily traffic of up to 10,000 students. The entire ensemble, a significant part of which Paul de Ruiter Architects completed in 2018, will boast purpose-built study areas and a new main entrance. The extension’s double-height, see-through base will house a media library and an incubator zone, including a business lobby and a grand café, and is set to be the centre of activity for life on campus.
