Booking.com opens new campus in the heart of Amsterdam

The new campus is now home to all of Booking.com’s more than 6,500 employees in Amsterdam and serves as it’s official international headquarters

The state-of-the-art SMART building not only leverages sensors throughout to function like an ecosystem, for example regulating the lighting and temperature automatically based on actual occupancy and usage, but it has also been constructed to a BREEAM Excellent standard.

Key takeaways

• More sustainable materials have been used throughout, with much of the furniture repurposed from the company’s previous offices in the city;
• There are 832 solar panels on the roof and all of the heating and cooling is managed by cutting edge technology to store and recover both hot and cold air deep beneath the ground during the summer and winter, using no gas at all;
• There are more than 11,000 plants throughout the building, and a dedicated underground parking garage with space for more than 2,500 bicycles, supporting employees to commute with the lowest impact options possible.
