Central Campus – The Hague
Following a competition among four architects, the university opted for PRO atelier’s design (architects: Hans van Beek and Leon Thier). This design optimally complies with the university’s demands:
The different parts of the building have been given special names such as Ovaal, Slinger, Strip and Rugzak (Oval
, Pendulum
, Strip
and Backpack
).
The shape and location makes the Oval the most central of the building: ‘the heart’. The inner square is a meeting point for students, staff and lecturers. Life on campus revolves around the magnificent oval atrium hall, with its soaring glass ceiling. The main entrance adjacent to it is also the only way in and out of the building. All international programmes are taught here. The Hague University has occupied this building since August 1996.
The campus is entirely surrounded by water, a kind of city within a city. It is located right at the back of Holland Spoor station
, three minutes walk to Megastores – a big shopping mall of The Hague
and just a few kilometres away from the city centre.
