Customer Challenge
Like many other stadiums, due to its shape, the venue contains spaces which have no windows or access to daylight. The Johan Cruijff ArenA was looking for a solution to improve the experience in the room where the players spend time.
Solution
The players home (of AJAX) in the Johan Cruijf ArenA is a windowless room. NatureConnect by Signify helped them to create an energizing space to support creating focus before the match, and a relaxing atmosphere after.
By offering a daylight experience and a blue skylight, NatureConnect strongly impacts their energy levels to stay focussed and feel energetic.
