‘This building is remarkable in its ugliness'

The municipality has recently declared eight buildings from Utrecht University as young monuments, including the Minnaert building, Basket Bar, the University Library at Utrecht Science Park, the Educatorium, and the Kruyt Building. DUB asked students and employees if they agreed with the buildings' new status. The answers vary. "This is a scary building", says a UU student. But, to four Belgian students who visited USP to see the buildings, they are "representative of their architectural style."
