Ellen van Schoten, member of the Executive Board of Erasmus University Rotterdam, and Martijn de Haas, Treasurer of the Erasmus Sport Foundation, performed the opening ceremony together with athletes. "With this sustainable and ultramodern sports facility on our campus, we encourage students and staff to exercise more and give substance to the transition to a vibrant international campus."

The main reason for the new building was the growing number of Erasmus Sport , which increased from 4,000 to 11,000 sports pass holders in the past eight years.
