Update: Fire in Forum
The Forum building will be closed on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Due to a technical cause, a fire broke out at a lift shaft on Thursday night. The fire brigade carried out extinguishing operations. Due to odour nuisance caused by the fire, plus repair of the affected technical installation, the building will remain closed on Friday and this weekend.
Update Friday 25 October
Building section C of the Forum building will remain closed Monday through Wednesday due to water damage and the smell of smoke. Section C is, as seen from the main entrance on the square, the right side of the building. Including the 7th floor of building section C and the entire 8th floor of Forum. The remaining building sections (A and B) are accessible and safe, allowing education to continue. Students are again urged to keep an eye on their personal schedule as rooms may still change. Subject coordinators are requested to keep an eye on their email this weekend and also inform their students where necessary.
This also means that the library will remain physically closed. The Student Service Center desk -next to the reception desk on the first floor in Forum- and the IT Servicepoint will both be open again starting Monday. They are located on the side of the building that has not been affected.
The sections that are not accessible will be cordoned off. Over the next few days, hard work will be done to continue surveying and repairing any resulting damage as quickly as possible.
Another update will follow next Monday afternoon.
