Erasmus University College

8 december 2014

The project involves the restoration, renovation and re-design of the former City Library of Rotterdam (1923) for the Erasmus University College. The former municipal library from 1923 was designed by city architect D.B. Logemann, with Art Deco sculptures on the facades designed by J.P.H. van Lunteren and stained glass windows by J.W. Gidding. It is one of the few buildings which survived the Second World War bombardment of the city centre in 1940.

In the design for the Erasmus University College by (designed by) Erick van Egeraat the original building as well as the qualities of the original interior has been restored to its original glory. Erick van Egeraat reveals and restores the exceptional beauty of this building, with its generous decorations, coffered ceilings, wood paneling, natural stone elements, sculptures and stained glass that had all been fully concealed behind gypsum board walls and lowered ceilings for decades. The building boasts one of the first reinforced concrete structures in The Netherlands, which is fully intact and integrated into the new educational building. In addition to restoration works, the architect adds suitable, but decidedly contemporary elements to make this a modern faculty which meets the design brief and current standards for university buildings.

In the center of the building there is an elegant atrium with glass walls, and a glass roof, allowing an abundance of natural light to enter into the building. In the atrium two glass elevators connect all five floors. On the third floor, the offices of the faculty and staff are located. The functionalist structure of the former book depository could not be kept, but has been emphasized in the new design with a nuance light design. The building is equipped with a complete new and sustainable installation in full compliance with the stringent requirement for installation within education faculties.

The Erasmus University College is a subtle transformation that allows this monument to be re-activated, and represents an outstanding asset to the Erasmus University and the city of Rotterdam. The Erasmus University college is an educational building that fits in a long line of both redevelopment and transformation projects designed by Erick van Egeraat.
