LAB42 is the University of Amsterdam’s new centre for Digital Innovation and AI. Where students and researchers from UvA’s Informatics Institute, the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) and companies all work together. 

We believe that people are key to solving the technological challenges of the future. That is why we create an environment where people can develop themselves. The best way to achieve this is to put research, education and industry under one roof.

To share knowledge and nurture innovation. In a building where first-rate students, the latest research and other AI companies are within reach.

LAB42 will open in September 2022.


‘We wanted to create a fully circular building. Keeping that goal in mind was a huge challenge.’

The future LAB42 building will be zero-energy, easy to dismantle and reusable – so naturally, designing and building it was no easy feat. An interview with the building’s architect, Joost Vos.
