HAN University of Applied Sciences has the most sustainable academic building in the Netherlands.

Solar City Nijmegen has been enriched with the addition of a unique and sustainable building. The I/O building, which recently became the new home of the Faculty of Education of HAN University of Applied Sciences (HAN), is the most sustainable academic building in the Netherlands. The outward appearance of the building is determined by sustainability aspects, which also respect adjacent buildings.
