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 more enormous than downtown Delft and one of the world's largest university campuses. The campus has been equipped with an extensive bicycle and pedestrian road network. The TU Delft campus has a green, parky character. Therefore, large parts of the campus are 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 quickly to the central parking lots. From there, every destination is reachable on foot. At 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. It provides guidelines for the myriad decisions, both big and small, taken in every part and university level. An important note is that this strategic framework has a relatively 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. Therefore, those sub-strategies are 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 will 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. Several self-service espresso bars dotted around the campus, such as DE Coffee Kitchen and Starbucks. If you are starving, 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 is something for every taste. Throughout the year, various campus locations 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 to focus on sustainability and the improved utilization 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 meters required. This will help reduce costs leaving more money for research and education. TU Delft's campus will become green, landscaped environment that provides a pleasant studying, working, or recreational environment. View full university
