The faculty was originally accommodated at Oudemanhuispoort, but at the end of 2017 the faculty relocated to Building REC A at Roeterseiland, situated on and close to Roeterstraat in the centre of Amsterdam. Roeterseiland Campus is home to the Faculty of Economics and Business, the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences and the Faculty of Law.
