Case studies from Europe, comparing trends and challenges

Description

The evening will commence with the presentation of two key higher education/research facilities projects carried out/ongoing in the NL along the same trends we see here in the UK, to stir confrontation/dialogue and prelude to a trip in the continent for a “de visu” experience and knowledge-sharing exercise.

The projects will be:

1. Faculty of Social Sciences at the Nijmegen University (a zero energybuilding inspired by the latest sustainability and health & wellbeing trends). Presented by Jeroen Simons, Partner at Inbo Architects (www.inbo.com/en), and Peter Buurman, Director of Sustainability at Deerns.
2. Space Research Netherlands at the Leiden Science Campus (integrated BIM in high-tech projects with over 10,000 sqm of labs and cleanrooms). Presented by Frank van Rijn, Facility Manager/project director at the SRON (Space Research Organization Netherlands – www.sron.nl/), and Eric Stuiver, Director of the International Clean Technologies Practice at Deerns.
