Renovated Tapijnkazerne put into use by UM
This week UM students and staff moved into the square buildings of the former Tapijn barracks. The School of Business and Economics, UMIO and the university library will use this building. In addition, there are study places and lecture rooms available for every faculty.
Connecting old and new
The renovated three characteristic pavilion buildings are located around the former apple place. Architect LIAG has connected this under ground level - under the park - with a new plinth. By "sliding" the connecting building part under the park, the site is provided with a maximum area of new public park. The typical historic pavilions as separate buildings remain so recognizable and are nevertheless interconnected.
Give meaning to the historical heritage
The underground design and use of the original material and color reinforces and emphasizes the character of the military area. Important features of the monuments such as the layout, window detailing and stairs are preserved. Spaces have been given names of the NATO alphabet, so that the historical context is also visible in this way.
