Academiegebouw, University administrative building in Groningen, Netherlands.
The Academiegebouw features a rectangular layout with two stories, steep roofs, and a northwestern round tower containing a carillon.
After a fire destroyed the previous structure in 1906, architect Jan Vrijman designed this Neo-Renaissance building, which opened its doors in 1909.
Five sandstone statues on the front facade represent different aspects of knowledge, including Minerva, Scientia, and Historia, symbolizing educational pursuits.
The building contains multiple meeting halls, including Heymanszaal, Engelsezaal, and Bruinszaal, with a side entrance providing lift access to all floors.
The Aula displays stained glass windows gifted by Queen Wilhelmina in 1938 to commemorate her honorary doctorate from 1914.
