Rabobank Nederland's new
corporate centre is being
erected on Croeselaan, in the
city of Utrecht. From 2009,
around 6,300 staff will be
working there. In the office
building, Rabobank is imple
menting a new way of working
where staff no longer have a
fixed place to work. Instead,
they decide themselves where
they work, depending on the
activity they are performing at
a particular moment. This
flexibility will change the office's
function: apart from a place to
work, it will be an important
meeting place. The 105-metre
tower will be one of the Nether
lands' most sustainably built
office buildings, with the use of
transparent materials giving it
an open character. For example,
the building's glass fagade will
enhance its semi-public function
and its interaction with the
surrounding area.
