Renovation of the student housing complex on Van Heemskerckstraat has begun. The building is being completely renovated and will soon have 263 rooms, 36 more than currently. These rooms will also be slightly larger, averaging 19 square meters. Each room will have its own toilet and bathroom. Previously, thirteen students shared one bathroom and one kitchen. In the future, there will be one kitchen and a fully furnished living room for every seven residents.
On the ground floor, there will be laundry facilities, study spaces, and potentially a restaurant and a hall that can also be used by the neighborhood. The renovation is expected to be completed in the summer of 2025.
