Academiegebouw, University building at Domplein, Netherlands.
The Academiegebouw features Renaissance Revival architecture with four floors, grand halls, and detailed stone ornamentation across its exterior facade.
The building opened in 1892 as a gift from Utrecht citizens and province to celebrate the university's 250th anniversary in 1886.
The structure hosts graduation ceremonies, academic presentations, and public lectures, maintaining the traditions of Utrecht University since its founding in 1636.
Located in central Utrecht, the Academiegebouw remains the primary ceremonial venue for university events and serves as the main administrative building.
The construction process faced a five-year delay due to debates between city officials about selecting the most appropriate architectural design.
