The Lab (building L) is located across from CREA, on the other side of the water. The building interior has been converted into a laboratory and research centre, with stimulus-free rooms used in world-renowned sleep research and other projects.
Architecture
The building was created by architect Hulshof in 1934, and is characterised
by its monumental brick structure in austere Amsterdam School style. Efforts to
underline the historic building's architectural and spatial qualities while
meeting the requirements of a modern research laboratory presented a challenge
during the redevelopment effort.
Internal relocations
Babylab – the Developmental Psychology department's child research facility –
is set to relocate from building G to the Lab attic in the near future. Work on
building G is set to start in 2015.
The Amazing Courtyard
A new courtyard known as “the Amazing Courtyard” is located between buildings
L and G. This sheltered area has a special climate, allowing for the creation of
a courtyard with rare plants. The paving was also adjusted to match the white
brick ribbons applied outside the building.
