The west side of the campus square is occupied by the Lecture Hall, known as ‘the dish’. This building houses the largest lecture halls of Leiden University, which welcome hundreds of students every day. It also has Leiden’s largest solar panel roof, with 1241 solar panels.

Modernising a striking Leiden University building

Over the past years, this building has been renovated, and the management wing and entrance on the west side have been demolished. Adjacent to the Rosalind Franklin Square, a new entrance has been created with a broad, inviting staircase to the first floor. Also, the lecture halls are modernized, and the building received a new, modern restaurant.
