Close cooperation with students and teachers

Flexibility in the layout ensures multifunctional usability in time and use. For example, the large terrace room can be used for both lectures and project education.

Pulse's Final Design was developed in close collaboration with students and teachers. Much has been said about the layout of teaching rooms, wishes for catering and the atmosphere and experience of the study landscape.

The total number of teaching places in Pulse is 1020. The emphasis for teaching rooms is on small and medium-sized instruction rooms ranging from 60 to 100 people. Many different study and meeting places can be found throughout the building and in the catering establishments.

Our assignment

Installation, flexibility and durability

Pulse becomes energy neutral with an interactive energy management in which the users are involved. The building will be equipped with a roof full of PV panels in combination with a heat-cold storage in the ground and facades with two-layer glass with very minimal frames. An intelligent building management system ventilates, illuminates, cools and heats the different areas in Pulse depending on the use.

For Pulse, a unique facade of innovative 3D printed elements is being developed in collaboration with the client TU Delft.
