Daily, about 27.000 people travel across our campus: students, scientists, visitors, and employees of the university and the companies on campus. Stretching over 161 hectares, the campus is larger than downtown Delft, and one of the largest university campuses in the world.

The campus has been equipped with an extensive bicycle and pedestrian road network. The TU Delft campus has a green, parky character. Large parts of the campus are therefore only accessible on foot, by bike, or public transport. For motorists there is the campus ring road, which circles the entire campus. Clear signage on the campus ring guides you easily to the central parking lots. From there, every destination is reachable on foot.

In the beginning of 2018, the TU Delft presented a new strategic framework for the coming years: the Strategic Framework 2018-2024.

This Strategic Framework serves as a high-level compass for TU Delft, and provides guidelines for the myriad decisions, both big and small, that are taken in every part and level of the University.

An important note is that this strategic framework has a rather high level of abstraction. The reason for this is that TU Delft is active in many areas and engages in so many different activities that a framework that sought to

address each of them separately would quickly collapse under the weight of too many detailed sub-strategies. Those sub-strategies are therefore developed in separate, more specific strategy documents, like the recent ‘TU Delft Vision on Education’ and the ‘ Campus Vision’.

On campus there are plenty of places to eat and drink on any budget. An espresso with a delicious muffin, a fresh hot meal or a crusty sandwich? You’ll always find something you fancy.

Most faculties have staffed coffee corners offering a variety of coffees and (sweet) snacks. In the Library, you can take a break in Coffee-Star and in the Aula Building you can head to Café 015. There are also a number of self-service espresso bars dotted around the campus such as DE Coffee Kitchen and Starbucks.

If you’re really hungry you can grab a meal at one of the self-service restaurants or the Food Market. The restaurants offer a wide range of salads, hot meals, fresh sandwiches, soup and fruit. The Food Market in the Fellowship has a wide range of different cuisines on offer, including Asian, Mediterranean and Dutch -

There’s something for every taste. Throughout the year, various locations on campus are home to a wide range of food trucks, which are open between 11.00 and 15.00 for lunch. The food on offer changes through the year and includes Greek, Vietnamese and Mexican cuisine.

TU Delft is one of the world’s top universities. It is renowned for its ground-breaking research, excellent education and innovative cooperation with external partners. This requires facilities and buildings that support this in a challenging, inspirational environment. This is why we are renewing the campus with a focus on sustainability and the improved utilisation of the existing spaces. The investments target the quality of spaces for new forms of education and research. Furthermore, TU Delft will divest itself of (some of) the buildings and reduce the total number of square metres required. This will help reduce costs leaving more money for research and education. TU Delft’s campus will become a green, landscaped environment that provides a pleasant studying, working or recreational environment.

This Institute can be considered as innovative institute. People are collaborating openly, purpose driven, crossing borders, ready to share what they know. A learning organisation. Especially the education component 'of the teacher education' has my attention.
