V-building: 'light, lots of light!'
|
 On Thursday 26 May, the latest addition to Woudestein campus, designed by architect Gerard Frishert, was officially opened. With its warm red walls and asymmetrical roof, the V-building is an absolute asset to Woudestein – even though it is temporary. The different faculty colours have been used for the side walls. Its tenants (EFR, Erasmus Shop, Hairdesign by Lydia, Service Point and Studystore) feel happy in their new quarters.

 On Friday 27 May, the grandest of good-bye parties was held for the C-building in its present state, organized by EFR. Way even before the big day, party-goers harboured high expectations: tickets were sold out a week in advance and certain clever types made a packet selling them on via the internet. Read more>>
