Selwerd I, II en III

Three residential towers, each with eleven floors, accommodate nearly one thousand students through shared living spaces and communal facilities.

Built between 1969 and 1970 by architects P. Bügel and J. v.d. Dijk, these buildings marked the expansion of student housing in Groningen.

The buildings, now named Cornus, Acero, and Dragant, foster student communities through shared kitchens, living rooms, and social spaces on each floor.

Located near the Zernike campus of the University and Hanze University, the buildings offer fiber optic internet connections and renovated bathroom facilities.

The residence complex maintains a direct view of Selwerderhof cemetery, creating an unexpected juxtaposition between student life and eternal rest.
