history RDM ( Rotterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij or Rotterdam Dry Dock Company) was founded in 1902 and was established in Heijplaat. The shipyard prospered and RDM was continually adding new buildings, redeveloping and rebuilding. RDM once was one of the largest shipyards in Europe. The RDM terrain is an area of great cultural and historical significance. During the past few decades some of the buildings on the RDM terrain were run-down. With the development of RDM Campus, an important part of Rotterdam s industrial heritage has been preserved and made available for future generations. 095 brochure RDM-NY_def.indd 5 29-03-2011 10:21:04
