Video: Hidden memories in the Administration Building
When you walk past the buildings on Oude Boteringestraat 42, 44 and 46, at first you only see tall wooden boards. When you look up, however, you see three stately buildings, including the UG's Administration Building. The buildings are currently being renovated, revealing things that remind you of their former use. René Bosscher, structural engineer at the Real Estate Organization, takes you in the first video behind the doors of these listed buildings. In the second video, Maikki Kivinen and Zuhura Iddi showcase their impressive restoration work on six large paintings.
