The Matrix VII building fits us like a glove. It combines high tech custom made labs with offices and communal spaces that are a pleasure to be in. This inspiring and well designed combination is essential for innovative scientific research!

We're proud to announce that MindLabs in Tilburg will officially open for operations on Wednesday afternoon (september 27th) in a ceremony attended by Mayor Theo Wetering and other stakeholders. The event marks the culmination of Ector Hoogstad Architects transformation of a beautiful old 'railway cathedral' in the city's transport zone into MindLabs, a knowledge exchange centre for digital technology. The result, realized on behalf of the Municipality of Tilburg and Fontys University, is a model of what can be achieved when heritage, design and sustainability are united in service of a vision, in this instance, a future-oriented building with character.
The new construction of the Physics building is like a complex puzzle. EHA has done their due dilligence thoroughly, and together with the client we came to a fantastic result, all within time, budgetary and quality constraints. This is engineering art!
Gerwin van der Panne, project manager and director Arohnson
