VU Buildings opening hours and visiting addresses

Until the summer, the side entrances of buildings on campus will be closed at certain times, and access will be available through the main entrance of the building.

The implementation of these measures contributes to several goals, such as concentrating services in the buildings that are open. This allows us to provide better services at fewer locations, while offering improved service where it remains available. This approach has a sustainable aspect, including energy use, cleaning, and waste management.

It also helps to prevent or limit the unfortunately increased vandalism and theft within our buildings. In the event of possible disturbances or security risks, an assessment will be made to determine which additional precautionary measures (temporarily) are necessary based on a current risk assessment. This may, for example, lead to restricting access to buildings through the main entrance or requiring a student or staff ID.

We understand that these changes may cause inconvenience and ask for your understanding.
