Inholland University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands

Inholland University, designed by the architect Erick van Egeraat, was completed in 2000 with the intention of being a flexible, 21st century learning environment. The aim was to create a building that related to its industrial harbor context and provide a transparent and open appearance.
A monograph of Egeraat's work states, "As the school desired to keep future options of usage open, the design has a flexible structure that allows floors to be partially rented for commercial use if necessary.
Public spaces and functions requiring more specific rooms are located on the first three floors, classrooms on the upper six floors. The atrium forms the heart of the building, starting at the first floor and extending to the top, along the south facade.
The expansive use of glass creates an open character that clearly expresses the philosophy of the school."
