Building & Construction

¹û¶³´«Ã½ is now on its way to managing the extensive Real Estate portfolio in a circular manner, aligning with the nationwide program ‘Netherlands Circular by 2050’. The policy for circular construction provides guidelines and rules for new construction, renovation, demolition and maintenance projects of all buildings on campus.

In 2023, a new circular building policy has been drawn up and improved, building on the 3 themes:

  • environmental impact
  • material usage
  • value preservation

With this policy in place, we want to challenge industry in making the next step in system change. As a follow-up for this new policy, 7 quickscans were made of renovation projects, demolition projects and maintenance projects, showing possibilities to incorporate circularity in these projects.
