UG on the Healthy Ageing Campus
Anda Kerkhoven Centre
This first UG building project on the north entrance of the Healthy Ageing Campus is expected to be completed in early 2024. The new education centre for the Faculties of Medical Sciences and Science & Engineering (especially the Pharmacy programmes) will be named Anda Kerkhoven Centre after the Groningen resistance fighter and medicine student Anda Kerkhoven (1919-1945). The building will provide teaching, meeting and working spaces for some 2,000 students and staff.
University College Groningen
University College Groningen (UCG), currently housed at a temporary location on Hoendiepskade, is expected to move to the building at Bloemsingel 1 on the Healthy Ageing Campus by the end of 2025. The facade is a protected cityscape and will be preserved. The building will be renovated and receive new construction extension at the rear.
