Vondelparkpaviljoen in Amsterdam

Prior to 2014, the AVRO was housed in the AKN [nl] building in Hilversum from 2000, while the TROS operated from the former Christelijk Lyceum, also in Hilversum, from 1970.[2] On 20 June 2012, it was announced that both broadcasters would move into the Wereldomroepgebouw after the merger.[3] The move was completed after a renovation on 1 January 2014.

In 2014, AVROTROS started using the Vondelparkpaviljoen in Amsterdam, which had been renovated and renamed "Vondel CS".[4][5] It was opened to the public on 13 May 2014. The building houses a number of radio and television studios, and offers space for events and activities organised for members.
