Exploring renovation of Bornsesteeg high-rise – A place for connection, study, and office space

Reading time: 1 minutes

Idealis is currently investigating the possibility of a major renovation of the ground-level section of the Bornsesteeg high-rise. The vision? A fresh, multifunctional space where meeting, studying, and working come together.

What are we planning?

  • Creating new communal areas for residents
  • Adding extra study spaces where you can work in peace
  • Designing a new entrance with a modern look and feel
  • Developing office space for Idealis
  • Building a larger bicycle storage area, as the current bike shed on the premises will be removed


Why this renovation?

This initiative is driven by three key developments:

  1. Greener campus – The street-level bike shed will be removed to make room for a green entrance.
  2. Greater need for meeting spaces – Students have indicated there’s a lack of places to gather or study.
  3. More efficient operations – Idealis currently operates from two locations, one of which will be closed. Bornsesteeg will become the new central hub.


What’s the timeline?

  • Autumn 2025: Investigations will be carried out to prepare for the renovation of Bornsesteeg.
  • December 2025: The results and design will be presented to Bornsesteeg residents, along with detailed planning information.

We’re excited to transform Bornsesteeg into a vibrant place where living, meeting, and working come together!
