About the building - Educatorium

"The Educatorium is an educational building of Utrecht University, mainly designed by Rem Koolhaas of the architectural firm OMA.

In 1986, OMA drew up the urban development plan for the university campus of Utrecht University on the Uithof. Each building was assigned a different architect and OMA was allowed to design the Educatorium. The building is intended as a general reception area and connection between the Willem C. van Unnik building and the Marinus Ruppert building

For the construction, ABT was appointed as constructor - with Rob Nijsse as project leader - and BAM as contractor. Construction started in 1992, the completion was in 1995. It took until 1997 before the building actually opened to the public

About the architect - Rem Koolhaas

"Remment Lucas Koolhaas is a Dutch architect, architectural theorist, urbanist and Professor in Practice of Architecture and Urban Design at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. He is often cited as a representative of Deconstructivism and is the author of Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan.

He is seen by some as one of the truly significant architectural thinkers and urbanists of his generation, by others as a self-important iconoclast. In 2000, Rem Koolhaas won the Pritzker Prize. In 2008, Time put him in their top 100 of The World's Most Influential People. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 2014."
