Description:
Charlois Lab is a building reuse proposal that brings cutting-edge education and research to the neighbourhood of Charlois and Rotterdam South. This medical school attempts to break the boundary between the residential area and industrial waterfront, sparking the future transformation of the harbour area while honouring the industrial heritage. The project consists of reusing an 80 years old bus depot by Ad van der Steur and a laboratory extension with an auditorium. Charlois Lab provides spaces that welcome academic collaborations of researchers and students from other cities and simultaneously remain accessible and enjoyable for the local community.
