reusable material
Working with Ballast Nedam, we constructed a dismountable car park for TU Delft. The design of the car park building on the Rotterdamseweg is consistent with TU Delft’s sustainability ambitions in terms of CO2 neutrality, circularity, biodiversity, ecology and climate adaptation. The car park was constructed using 96 per cent reusable materials, which included a large quantity of wood and used bricks. The structure is entirely circular and can be reconstructed at a new location in the future. Kampstaal supplied and assembled the supporting structure.
Car park including biodiverse environment
The car park was completed in two phases. The first phase was the construction of a basic building with three parking levels. The building has a capacity of 450 spaces and is finished with a wooden façade, which provides a green and sustainable look and feel and is packed with sustainable and ecological innovations. Façade vegetation that includes climbing plants, integrated bird and bat boxes and insect hotels help to create a biodiverse environment within the wooden slats.
Facade grilles and roof pergola
The second phase was construction of an additional parking deck and roof structure, which is capable of accommodating an additional 150 cars. The roof also features a pergola structure that acts as an energy roof. The sustainable car park building features green roof edges for water storage and building cooling. The centre of the roof supports a solar panel system to charge cars parked at ground level. Surplus electricity is fed into TU Delft’s electricity grid. For the pergola construction, we installed around 155 tonnes of steelwork and 500 m² of slatted floors. We also supplied the fencing, roof panels and a spiral staircase, all of which were assembled on site.
