Technical University, Delft Why a new building? The new Applied Sciences building of the Technical University in Delft is located at the Southside of the campus. This Southside of the campus is the expansion area for the growth of the university over the next decade. The building houses the Faculty of Applied Sciences. A state-of-the-art building; necessary to continue to perform internationally at the highest level. The building was completed in spring 2016. The new building is used daily by 600 employees and 800 students from TU Delft.

Technical University, Delft Atrium: An atrium area is by function designed as traffic area for people. In this building, there’s a very high attention to serve the well-being of the people that are present in this area: • Aesthetic design with very high quality finish • Acoustic comfort (reverberation time) controlled with sound absorbing walllinings • Abundant light entry through roof/ceiling

Technical University, Delft Laboratory The laboratory area facilitates students & researchers in their work. In general, there are very high functional demands, e. g. in sound insulation. NANO-technology: A very important high-tech part of the laboratory is dedicated to NANO-technology research. Extreme measures were taken to ensure: • Zero vibrations • Stable temperature +/- 0, 1ºC
