A walking tour of the campus
ARCHITECTURE& ART
The University of Twente (UT) is the only university
in the Netherlands with a genuine campus. It is set
in extensive parkland that houses buildings for
education and research, facilities for sports and
culture, student and staff accommodation, and a
shopping centre. In fact, the campus is a compact
academic city located on the verdant Drienerlo
estate. The buildings that have been erected there
QXGT�VJG�RCUV�JCNH�EGPVWT[�CTG�COQPI�VJG�ƂPGUV�examples of recent architectural thinking. Most
of the art objects standing in the open air were
created especially for the UT.
ARCHITECTURE & ART
The campus was laid out in 1961 by architects
9KO�XCP�6ĎGP�CPF�5COWGN�XCP�'ODFGP��CEEQTFKPI�to the principles of Modern Architecture or New
Objectivity. Their master plan imposed a clear
structure on the site, with large buildings at
UVTCVGIKE�RQKPVU��8CP�6ĎGP�CPF�8CP�'ODFGP�separated residences from work and recreation
facilities. This business-like, formal approach drew
a response from a group of young architects,
whose buildings were more intimate and exuberant.
Jan Hoogstad was the campus’ supervising
architect until 2000; his current successor is
Peter Vermeulen.
6JG�76�RTQƂNGU�KVUGNH�CU�CP�GPVGTRTKUKPI�TGUGCTEJ�university. It provides education and conducts
research in areas ranging from psychology and
management to applied physics and biomedical
technology. The core research areas are technology,
medical innovation, nanotechnology, and behaviour
and society. Current enrolment numbers 9000
students, a growing number of whom come from
outside the Netherlands. The UT’s enterprising
character is manifested in the large number of
spin-off businesses to which it is host. The univer-
sity employs a staff of 3000, making it the largest
employer in Twente.

areas, each with its own distinctive character.

entrance, where most cars, cycles and pedestrians
enter the campus. Meinen uses many geometric

found throughout the Netherlands.

Het Ding began as a student prank.
A small group put the object together
in secret, then erected it in a single day
with salvaged telephone poles and pre-
tensioned steel cables. The construction
principle was discovered by the American innova-

04 The Paviljoen is a classic example of Dutch
5VTWEVWTCNKUO��YJKEJ�CTQUG�KP�TGURQPUG�VQ�the New Objectivity. The design consists
of small, intimate spaces that are clus-
tered together. A distinctive feature is
the building’s stone chimney, with wings fanning
out around it. The building once served as the staff
canteen.

contrast to the original campus design of large

12 Harry van den Kroonenberg was the
rector who, in the eighties, opened up
the university to the world outside. It was
he who coined the term ‘enterprising
university’. The UT strengthened its ties
with the regional business community and devel-
oped market-oriented education and research. This
bronze bust was unveiled on the 50th anniversary
of the university’s foundation. The artist is Van den
Kroonenberg’s daughter, Mohana.

13 Horst Tower, an important landmark on
the campus, also has its origin in the
New Objectivity. The tower clearly
demonstrates the principle of the
separation of functions: supporting
functions such as elevators, emergency staircase,
washrooms and air conditioning are installed in the
huge concrete shafts.

In 1964 Piet Blom converted an old
farmhouse into a refectory. The interior
was playful, with split levels and voids,
in sharp contrast to the sober interiors
favoured by the New Objectivity. Blom left

22 The building was instantly baptised
‘The Bastille’ because its exterior recalls
the famed Parisian prison. Upon entering,
visitors are overwhelmed by a carefully or-
chestrated chaos. Blom created a labyrinth
inside, with twelve mezzanines, low walls, niches,
and steps, all of which are intended to encourage
chance encounters. Robert Winkel transformed it
into an open building.

27 Piet Blom designed the intimate open-air
theatre as part of his Centre Plan. This
structure is reminiscent of a Kasbah,
stretching from the Hogekamp to the
cinder track and the sports centre. Blom’s
Centre Plan was enormous, but in the end only the
Bastille and the open-air theatre were built. The
acoustics are fantastic: just stand on the spot in
the middle and clap your hands.

28 The Box is a newcomer to the campus.
Herman Haan’s Patio Complex (see no. 30)
is meant to entice students to gather to-
gether outside, whereas the idea of the
Box is that students should be neatly
tucked away inside their apartments. The courtyard
houses the entrances to the rooms, a cycle rack,
and pedestrian bridges. The complex is transected
by a path, an extension of the old archery range.
