PC Hoofthuis

Built between 1976 and 1983, it is considered one of the primary works of the Dutch architect Theo Bosch, completed in association with Aldo Van Eyck.

[1] It currently houses lecture halls for the Faculty of Humanities, much like the historic Bungehuis building down the street on the Spuistraat.

Among students, the building is popularly nicknamed “Het huis van de kobolden” (The home of the goblins)[citation needed].

Lecture rooms sit on either side of the corridors and are separated from the hallways by a glass wall, which makes them easy to see into.

As part of the University of Amsterdam protests in the fall of 2018, on 28 September the PC Hoofthuis was occupied by students.
