Tropicana, Indoor recreational center in Rotterdam, Netherlands
The Tropicana building stands along the waterfront, featuring a glass facade and multiple levels dedicated to different activities and functions.
The facility opened its doors in 1988 as a subtropical swimming complex with pools and water attractions until its closure in 2010.
The transformation into BlueCity in 2015 established the building as a center for sustainable innovation and entrepreneurship in Rotterdam.
BlueCity operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, while the Aloha Restaurant serves visitors Wednesday through Sunday.
Former swimming pools and staff areas now house mushroom cultivation facilities using recycled coffee grounds as growing medium.
