The addition of the CS to the Stedelijk's name refers not only to the location close to Amsterdam's Central Station, but also the fact that the Museum shares the building with other users: Stedelijk Museum cum suis. Among the fellow tenants are the design centre Post Amsterdam and Restaurant Club 11 (Elf) on the top-(eleventh) floor.
The Stedelijk Museum CS is accommodated on the second and third stories of the striking high-rise on the Oosterdokskade (former building of The Post Group). There it has at its disposal 6000 m² including an entry hall, museum shop, coffee corner and educational space, and space for technical support and storage. There is direct access from the Museum to the restaurant and auditorium on the 11th storey - the top floor.
The programming will be put together in consultation with the users. On weekends Elf will be transformed into a nightly dance venue. The old Stedelijk on the Museumplein has been closed since January 1, 2004. According to plans, the doors will open there again in 2008. The offices and depots, and the Museum's library, open to the public, will for the time being continue to be located at Deccaweg 26, near Sloterdijk Station.
