‘Our vision on education and sustainability is perfectly reflected in this building’

Around 6,000 students, mainly from the Faculty of Technology at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA), took possession of the Jakoba Mulderhuis building in September 2022. This, the HvA’s most sustainable education building, is the crowning glory of the Amstel Campus. The Jakoba Mulderhuis was one of the first projects in the Netherlands to be put out to tender on the basis of Building Information Modelling (BIM). Visser & Smit Bouw, M.J. De Nijs & Zonen and Unica signed up for the project.

‘Unica understands our organisation and constantly contributed ideas: what can we do to help you?’

“We have added a new monument to the city. Students’ jaws dropped as they entered the building: wow!” explains Hans Wichers Schreur, director of real estate and accommodation policy at the HvA. Marc van Bekkum, project manager at the HvA adds: “The building is remarkable from the outside and buzzes like a beehive from within; a perfect match with our vision on education.“
