Yesterday building work on BESIX Nederland's new head office building in the Amstelwijck Business Park in Dordrecht got off to a festive start. In the presence of the Mayor of Dordrecht, the design teams, BESIX Nederland director Jeroen Philtjens and all employees, the red button was pressed. A time capsule, confetti cannons and a toast completed the celebration.
The new 1,800 m² head office will accommodate around 80 Dutch colleagues. BESIX's identity comes into its own in the building's clear and visible design: the trusses refer to our civil engineering side and an impressive glass façade to our expertise in complex (high-rise) buildings.
Special attention has also been paid to the welfare of our employees. The centre of the office, where all functions intersect, features an open, transparent atrium with live plants.
All primary functions are located on a single floor, to facilitate collaboration and meeting between colleagues. The office design also encourages flexible working with both standing and sitting workstations.
BESIX Netherlands is scheduled to move into the building in 2019.
