Rotterdam Quarantaine, Former hospital complex in Heijplaat, Netherlands
The Rotterdam Quarantine facility includes ten buildings spread across six hectares near the Nieuwe Maas river, featuring a bathhouse, isolation ward, and disinfection units.
Built between 1930 and 1933, the complex initially served to house ship crews and immigrants with contagious diseases before receiving Jewish refugees from Germany in 1938.
Since 1979, the facility transformed into a production space where artists from various disciplines create visual arts, design, music, film, and theater productions.
The complex stands on wooden piles with concrete hangers, elevated 50 centimeters above ground level, with separate sections for clean and contaminated areas.
The disinfection building contains specialized vacuum formaldehyde ovens and steam systems, with high roofs designed to remove sanitization fumes effectively.
