Current projects at the Utrecht Science Park
Utrecht University is working on several new building and renovation projects in the Utrecht Science Park.
Projects
New bank protection for the Botanic Gardens’ fort moat
The bank protection of the fort moat at the Utrecht University Botanic Gardens is being renewed after 60 years.
Thermal energy storage system for Veterinary Medicine
A WKO installation will be installed in the eastern part of the Utrecht Science Park in the second half of 2024. This part of the installation will connect the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine buildings to this sustainable energy source.
Arboretum park
Amid the bustling developments in the Utrecht Science Park (USP), we are working on a green Arboretum park that not only connects but also enriches. The Arboretum Park will soon form a green link between the centre of the USP and the buildings in the Northwest Cluster.
Development The Bridge (Transition Building)
On the site of the former Earth Sciences building, Utrecht University is having a building with laboratories and offices developed by the external market party Kadans.
Zonnepark A12 Bunnik
On the south side of the A12 motorway, between petrol station De Forten and the Houten-Oost exit, solar panels are being installed to generate sustainable energy. This project is a collaboration between Energie Coöperatie Bunnik and Utrecht University.
Dismantling Martinus G. de Bruin Building
The Martinus G. de Bruin building is being dismantled in a circular way.
SL2 provides space in Northwest Utrecht Science Park
SL2 is being prepared for the arrival of the Faculty of Science.The purchase of SL2 allows, among other things, the Hugo R. Kruyt Building to be vacated before the redevelopment starts.
Utrecht University builds Circular Pavilion
A meeting place in the heart of the campus where our contribution to the transition to a sustainable society becomes visible and tangible.
Redevelopment Willem C. van Unnik building
Replacing dormer windows Marinus Ruppert building
From March 2025, all the dormer window frames in the Marinus Ruppert building will be replaced. New ones will replace the current window frames with single glazing with insulated glazing.
Redevelopment Buys Ballot building
The Buys Ballot building in the Utrecht Science Park is undergoing a major redevelopment. This redevelopment is necessary to improve the air quality and prepare the building for a sustainable future.
Sustainable renovation of the University Library USP
The University Library Utrecht Science Park is being made more sustainable and future-proof. In the summer of 2025, we will implement several energy-saving measures to make the building more comfortable for users and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Greenhouse complex Botanic Gardens
The Botanic Gardens of Utrecht University are set to receive a new greenhouse complex. The current greenhouses, which house research facilities and a unique collection of tropical plants, are outdated and no longer meet the requirements of modern research and education.
