Concrete truck of the company ABO Transportbeton bij de Passage, c. 1965 Canvas Print
In 1964 the renovation of this courtyard was started. Two floors were constructed here, resting on prestressed concrete beams. As a result, unlike the installation of the Western courtyard, which was opened in 1962, the layout of the space was not determined by the support points of a steel skeleton. On the upper floor, two rooms were made that were connected to the surrounding painting halls. The remaining space was made as an exhibition space. The first floor remained a free space with a surrounding balcony for the benefit of the Department of Dutch History, which was opened together with the renovated surrounding rooms in October 1971. The ground floor was entirely intended for study collections of the Department of Paintings, Sculpture and Applied Arts and Dutch History. This part, as far as paintings and crafts are concerned, opened in 1974. During the construction, sliding formwork was used, a new system at the time with which the formwork of the concrete walls to be poured was continuously erected by means of hydraulic equipment, while the application of the reinforcement and concrete mortar continued continuously.
