BAM Bouw en Techniek constructs circular laboratory building ‘The Bridge’ at Utrecht Science Park
On 6 June, Kadans Science Partner and BAM Bouw en Techniek signed the construction team agreement, officially launching the development of the innovative transition building ‘The Bridge’ at Utrecht Science Park. This agreement marks a vital step forward in the sustainable evolution of the campus and reflects Utrecht Science Park’s ambition to lead in circularity and innovation.

A milestone in sustainable construction
We are constructing ‘The Bridge’ using the shell of the former Earth Sciences building. In its first phase, the building will accommodate, among others, the Institute for Biodynamics and Biocomplexity (IBB), the Institute of Environmental Biology (IEB), and part of the Bijvoet Centre during the renovation of the Kruyt building. Later, it will house businesses and institutes focused on sustainability. The redevelopment of the existing building, led by Kadans Science Partner as the developer, is of course a prime example of sustainability. By reusing the existing concrete structure, the project saves over 1.4 million kilograms of CO₂ emissions—equivalent to two hundred car journeys around the world.
