PC Hoofthuis, University building in Binnenstad district, Amsterdam, Netherlands

The PC Hoofthuis spans 115 meters along Spuistraat with its distinctive red brick facade and numerous large windows providing natural illumination.

Following the demolition of Twentsche Bank in 1979, architect Theo Bosch completed this educational structure in 1984, marking a new era in Amsterdam architecture.

The building houses multiple departments of the Faculty of Humanities, with lecture halls and study spaces distributed across seven floors.

Located near Spui square, this facility contains a bicycle storage area in the basement, a canteen on the third floor, and study centers.

Originally designed with open lecture rooms without glass partitions, the concept aimed to let passersby hear fragments of lectures in the corridors.
