October 1, 2024 was a special day for Amsterdam UMC: after a construction period of about 2.5 years, the Research & Diagnostics Center ADORE was officially completed at
the VUmc location. In this research center, top scientists will soon work together on the development of new treatments against cancer and brain diseases, which is unique in Europe. The diagnostic laboratories of Human Genetics and Pathology will also be housed here.
We are thrilled to move as well to this building. From the beginning of 2025 we are located at the fourth floor in the ADORE building.
With a total area of approximately 22,800 m², the Research & Diagnostics Center
ADORE houses state-of-the-art laboratories and office spaces. The building is connected to the Amsterdam UMC Imaging Center by a large glass atrium, making it easy for people to meet each other and share knowledge. From Van der Boechorststraat, the atrium is the main entrance for both the ADORE Research & Diagnostics Center and the Amsterdam UMC Imaging Center. Patients for the Amsterdam UMC Imaging Center can also enter via this entrance. The special, patchwork-like tiled floor in the atrium deserves an honorable mention.
From November until mid-2025, researchers from Amsterdam UMC will move into the new research building. The official opening of the Research & Diagnostics Center ADORE
is planned after the latest move.
