Description

Leiden Bio Science Park was founded in 1984 at the west of the Leiden Central Train Station which is the largest and fastest-growing science assemblage in the Leiden. The 2km wide campus includes housing, a university, a hospital, restaurants, a sports center, business companies, and many others. In the photo, it mentions the model of Bio Science Park which is proposed to be set up as a lively campus.

In the process of building the Bio Science Park, they developed the “Master Plan” which is as shown in the figure. The campus is in the two areas, Leiden and Oegstgeest. The “Master Plan” is the joint development of the municipals of Leiden and Oegsteeest. Under the plan, it is going to develop 1100 student housings (600 or 700 for the students and the rest for the academic hotels and so on).

The important part of the plan is more (more means the following plans- community concept, spatial concept, program, and sustainability.) One of the former- community concepts includes the transportation system mainly using bicycles and electric bikes, an economic system, a recycling system, a hospital, and communication and it even includes its own application ( campus application ). In my point of view, it is more look like the city (micro-city) which is established by the University with the growth of student housing. In the concept of “Town and Gown,” it will become a city because of the University.
