Extension Inholland University by Erick Van Egeraat Reaches Highest Point
Construction works on the extension of Inholland University Rotterdam designed by Erick van Egeraat have reached their highest point. After three weeks of around-the-clock works, the structural core has reached its ultimate height of more than 62 meters.
Erick van Egeraat based the design of the extension on his original building, realised in 2000. Three rectangular volumes, shifted and varying in size, are stacked on top of each other. The topmost volume is elevated above the existing building, offering panoramic views of both, the harbour and the city centre.
The extension comprises 15.000 m" across 15 storeys. The building will be completed in the summer of 2008.
(EEA) Erick van Egeraat founded his practice in Rotterdam in 1995 and now employs 120 professionals throughout offices in London, Budapest, Prague and Moscow. Erick van Egeraat has been involved in the realisation of more than 100 projects over his 25 years of practice.
The EEA architectural vision is to realise world-class architecture and masterplanning, which adds economic, social and cultural value to the local context. The office is presently working on the design and realisation of more than 40 projects all over Europe, Central Eastern Europe and Russia.
