Campus information

At first, all of the university buildings were situated in the historic city centre of Delft. This changed with relocations to a separate university neighborhood in the second half of the 20th century. The last university building in the historic centre of Delft was the university library, which was relocated to a new building in 1997. The design of the new university neighborhood, Mekelpark, was officially approved on the September 12, 2006, giving a green light to the transformation of the area around the Mekelweg Street into a new campus center. The new park substituted the main access road and redirect car traffic around the campus, making the newly created park a safer place for bicycles and pedestrians.
