Tilburg University vice-president of the executive board Paulina Snijders said: ‘‘With this choice, we want to honor the work of Marga Klompé and the social commitment that characterized her. This is reflected in the design of the building, that will be constructed with state-of-the-art sustainability, and also in its layout, with lots of space for all sorts of meetings in a warm and welcoming environment. We are thrilled that, after years of preparation and procedures, we can watch the first foundation pile go into the ground today.’’

The building is anticipated to be ready for use around Christmas of the academic year 2023/2024.

Designed to be almost energy neutral, the building will produce almost all the energy it needs for its own operation through the use of solar panels.

Furthermore, wherever possible, the building will see use of sustainable products and materials such as wood.
