The Utrecht University Campus, according to its best tradition, gives birth to another provocative and irreverent building: the BasketBar, which consists of a flat basket ground over a grand café room, as 15 x 15 meters flat extension of the previous bookstore, just on the back of the OMA's Educatorium. In the early 90's, OMA prepared the master plan for the renewed University Campus, which encompasses a lot of Dutch Second Modernity's exemplary buildings such as Mecanoo's Faculty of Economics and Management, Neutelings Riedijk's Minnaert Building, UN Studio's NMR Laboratory and OMA's Educatorium. All these buildings are spread on a large site called De Uithof at the edge of the city, hosting about 30.000 among staff and students. The BasketBar, together with the Educatorium, represented the only extensive meeting place for all this population, until the large black library was built.
