On the TU Delft campus, the new Physics research building is being constructed for the Faculty of Applied Sciences. The building will house modern laboratories, teaching facilities, offices and meeting rooms. Commissioned by the Physics Construction Consortium, Severfield is making a significant contribution to the construction of this new research building.
For the new Physics building, Severfield is supplying and erecting 668 tonnes of steel structures, including engineering and the development of practical solutions for the construction. In addition, we are responsible for the engineering, procurement and installation of the roof and façade cladding for three roof structures.
The building will have a floor area of approximately 22,000 m2 and will provide space for research in fields including quantum technology, nanotechnology, photonics and imaging. Completion of the building is scheduled for the first quarter of 2028.
A distinctive feature of the building is its low-vibration laboratory floors. These specially designed floors minimise vibrations, ensuring that sensitive research equipment can operate with precision.
Severfield also supplied and installed ComFlor 75 steel-reinforced concrete slabs for the surrounding ground-floor areas. In doing so, we are also contributing to the floor structures of this technically challenging research building.
