Start of Redesign Outdoor Area X
Last Wednesday, 25 September, the redesign of the outdoor area of X started. In order to keep X liveable and accessible, the work will be carried out in various phases. The planning of the work takes into account the planned activities, events and the outdoor sports season. Good coordination means the programming of X will continue as usual. The redesign will be completed in the summer of 2020.
Phases
The illustration shows the order of work, numbered consecutively. You can see that some work will be carried out in stages. This is necessary to keep facilities as accessible as possible. Whatever phase the work is in, at the end of a working day we always ensure that a safe passage to the sports fields is available (using temporary paving or gangways if necessary). Because the activities on the sports fields mainly take place in the late afternoon and evening hours, the nuisance due to this measure remains limited.
- 1 to 5: Pathways around the soccer and hockey fields - 25 September to December 2019
In the first five phases, the pathways and lighting around the soccer and hockey fields will be renewed. Compacting the paving may cause some noise nuisance. - 6: Campus Farm - mid-October 2019 to February 2020
During this phase the Campus Farm will not be accessible. The Gardening course will be moved to the patio of Freetown. Suppliers will not be able to use the entrance on the Balthasar van der Polweg side, but must use the main entrance or the route along the tennis courts. - 7: Square at Cafe X - February to March 2020
The work will start after the 'Winters Delft' ice rink has been dismantled. This phase is split into two parts to maintain access to the sports fields. - 8: Pathways at the tennis courts - March to May 2020
This phase will start once the access road to the Campus Farm re-opens. Suppliers must use the main entrance or the entrance on the Balthasar van der Polweg side. - 9: Front square February to May 2020
Work on the front square and surroundings will take place in phases in order to main optimum access to the bike racks, the terrace and the main entrance. - Remaining work: May to June 2020
During May and June the finishing touches will be made to the redesign and everything will be tidied up properly.
Working hours
Working hours during the week are 7:00 to 16:00. It may occasionally be necessary to work in the evening or on Saturday, but only if needed in order to stay on schedule and always in consultation with X.
