An echo between “Silence please” and “Science please”
The beautiful Science Campus of the University of Leiden
in the Netherlands has multiple Hopper picnic tables on
different levels. It’s a modern, open, and communicative
building in which the various research institutes are
interconnected.
The design of the campus functions as an inspiring and
expressive environment where different users come
together. The long Hopper picnic tables serve this purpose
by letting everyone slip in easily at the sides to collaborate
on their projects.
Did you know that this Leiden laboratory building has a
BREEAM-NL Very Good certificate? This international
certificate means that the building meets very high
sustainability requirements. So, it’s no surprise that the
architects chose the functional and durable wooden
Hopper picnic tables to fill the shared spaces.
