We wanted to share new images of the construction of the Laboratry in Willemstad. After the highest point was celebrated in May, the project has taken another step forward. In the photos, which we took in early September 2024, you can see the progress.
In the new photos you can see that most of the rough work is completed and they are making great progress with the finishing both inside and outside. Also the mechanical electrical and plumbing installations are taking shape.
About our design
We’ve designed a cutting-edge laboratory in Willemstad, where innovation meets sustainability. Sustainability is at the heart of our design. We’ve insulated the roofs and facades to minimize heat, installed sun blinds to limit direct sunlight, and incorporated water recycling from both the roofs and air conditioning systems. Solar panels cover the rooftop to generate energy, and the cooling system is future-proofed for potential deep-sea water cooling.
On the inside, the focus is on connection—between both people and nature. All laboratories, except pathology, are centralized on the second floor to foster collaboration and share resources. The interior is designed for comfort and productivity, with fresh air circulation, ample daylight, and serene central spaces featuring wooden ceilings and greenery. Staircases encourage movement, and balconies offer fresh air, while spacious areas support spontaneous interactions and easy access for large equipment.
