One of the central features in the development of Erasmus University master plan is the half-sunk garage connected to the Erasmus Plaza on the roof. This construction marks the new central main entrances of the university campus.
The location underneath the Plaza is crucial in two ways: it fulfils the required parking in a concentrated manner and creates a pedestrian-friendly campus. The parking garage can accommodate up to 1000 cars divided over two layers. Spatial features have been designed to enhance the wayfinding and orientation in the garage: Two open air voids and an orange louvered ceiling all across the parking layers.
These features will make the experience of entering and exiting the garage, both by car and as a pedestrian, appropriate for the campus of this prominent university.
One of the central features in the development of Erasmus University master plan is the construction of a new half sunk garage strongly connected to the Erasmus Plaza on the roof. This new construction marks the new central main entrances of the university campus.
The parking garage does not only fulfil much of the required parking in a concentrated manner, but is also crucial in creating a pedestrian-friendly campus by locating the parking underneath the Erasmus Plaza. When completed the parking garage, which is nearly 400 meters long and 32 meters wide, can accommodate up to a 1000 cars divided over two layers.
To enhance the wayfinding and orientation in the garage two spatial features have been designed: Two open air voids and an orange louvers ceiling all across the parking layers.
