The buildings of the RIVM in Bilthoven no longer meet contemporary requirements, and renovating them would be less efficient. As a result, a new 18-storey facility of about 80,000 m² was built on the edge of Utrecht Science Park, offering around 1,700 workspaces and over 200 laboratories. Its sustainability features have been assessed using the BREEAM methodology, and the building received the highest possible rating of “Outstanding.”
