During the Easter weekend from 30 March until 2 April the Fellowship, Library and Aula have special opening hours to study.

This summer, Cormet Enjoy the Good Life will begin running the catering services on campus. Cormet will collaborate with local businesses to ensure a more diverse selection on offer and products in more price categories. Cormet was selected by a delegation of staff and students. The contractor was found to best meet the requirements for high-quality catering services at TU Delft. Staff and students have called for improvement around these areas over the last few years.

Starting in summer 2018
Cormet will be the primary contractor from the summer of 2018, but will collaborate with a range of local firms to offer catering services at various locations. This will provide scope for diversity and entrepreneurship under the supervision of a permanent contractor. This approach offers opportunities to local businesses while satisfying the diverse requirements of our staff and students.

What does this mean for the faculties
Work will continue in the coming months on selecting the catering operators to facilitate the various locations in consultation with the faculties. The coming period, Cormet, Team Horeca ICT & FM and the taskforce of the faculties will work on this topic.

Customer satisfaction survey
More than 3,500 students and staff took part in a customer satisfaction survey between 20 November and 15 December 2017 concerning the restaurants, coffee corners, vending machines and meeting services on campus. The catering facilities, restaurants and coffee corners saw a slight increase in the level of satisfaction in 2017 compared with 2016. A summary of the results can be found here.
