The Prinses Máxima Center for pediatric oncology bundles knowledge in the field of care and research at the highest level. The Prinses Máxima Center is unique in its field, and with 45,000 sq.m. it is the largest pediatric oncology center in Europe. The Prinses Máxima Center wants to heal each child suffering from cancer, with an optimal quality of life. The architecture of the building contributes to this cause; you could even call the interior and exterior unique. There is a natural connection between the inside and outside and between the world of children and that of research. The main route through the building constitutes a meeting place for children, parents, doctors, nurses and researchers. The Center was designed by ‘LIAG architecten en bouwadviseurs’ where the emphasis was placed on the child and the family.
