On Friday March 14th the ‘Roof of the Year’ award was presented to the project ‘The Pulse of Amsterdam’.
The green educational roof (Green Roof Experience Centre) of Yuverta received an honourable mention from the jury. This award was created especially for this project. The jury was very enthusiastic and full of praise for Yuverta, where everything revolves around a green and sustainable future.
Vision of the Future
Jury member Albert Kerssen from idverde NL: “The educational roof transcends the interests of the parties involved. It inspires others: from roofers in training to universities and primary schools. Yuverta is happy to share its knowledge and invites everyone to discover this project example. This is not just an educational initiative – it is a vision of the future in practice. Here, students not only learn about sustainability, they put it into practice directly. In this way, this project contributes to a generation of professionals who are ready to make the cities of the future greener and more liveable.”
Practice location for Research
The green educational roof of Yuverta Houten was built together with many partners from the business community as a practical location for research innovations and to teach students the skills to install and maintain green roofs and facades. The Roof of the Year award shows how greening cities has become a high priority in recent years, and that an increasing amount of people are convinced of the importance of green, healthy and climate-resilient cities.
