Marinus Ruppert building

The Marinus Ruppert building is an academic facility in Utrecht Science Park containing multiple teaching and research spaces. It houses two main lecture halls of varying capacities alongside smaller seminar rooms and workshop areas designed to accommodate different group sizes and teaching formats.

The building was designed by architect Sjoerd Wouda and opened in 1964 following its planning in the early 1960s. It emerged as part of Utrecht's broader growth in research facilities during that era.

The building functions as a hub for Earth sciences research and houses groups studying geology, meteorology, and related fields. The spaces reflect the practical nature of these disciplines, with labs and meeting areas designed for collaborative work.

The building is accessible on weekdays with consistent hours for academic and research activities. You should know that elevators connect all floors and entrances are designed to be barrier-free.

The building includes specially equipped workshop rooms designed for interactive learning sessions with groups between 22 and 50 people. These spaces enable hands-on learning and experiments that larger lecture halls cannot accommodate.
