From University Visitors’ Centre to Leiden Visitors' Centre

Leiden University's Visitors’ Centre will expand its scope in 2008 to become the Visitors' Centre for the whole of Leiden. The Amsterdam- based Benthem Crouwel Architekten BV has created a design with an open facade and an enormous media screen spanning the front of the building. Front office The new Visitors’ Centre Leiden (VCL) is an extension of the present Visitors’ Centre of Leiden University, currently housed in the Central Station. It will become the front office of twenty Leiden town partners, and will extend a welcome to all visitors. For anyone who is not familiar with the term front office (which is coupled with back office): this is the point of contact with the client. The box office, the show-case, the desk, in other words. The VCL will be located on the ground floor of the imposing Chamber of Commerce building, Stationsweg 41, directly opposite the station. //Leiden University
