F.A.F.C. Wentgebouw, University building in Utrecht Science Park, Netherlands

The F.A.F.C. Wentgebouw stood as a cubic structure reaching 50 meters in height, featuring eight floors and additional technical levels at Sorbonnelaan 16.

Constructed in 1974, the building initially housed the Faculty of Dentistry of Utrecht University and was named after botanist Friedrich Went.

The building contained an extensive collection of dental heritage gathered since 1877, including contributions from Theodore Dentz, now preserved at Utrecht University Museum.

Following renovations in 1990, the structure accommodated studies in Pharmacy, Chemistry, and Biology until its demolition between 2013 and 2015.

The building's distinct facade earned it several names, including De Ponskaart and De Holle Kies, while featuring an abstract pond and fountain by Joop Beljon.
