The demolition will take place in phases. From 19 June, first the building parts on the Buitenveldertselaan side will be demolished. The cyclotron building is part of this. This will be followed by the part between the middle part of the W&N building and the AB part of the W&N building, which will be converted into an independent building. This section (CDE) is located in front of the StartHub. This work will last until the end of 2025.
Demolition process 2026-2028
The year 2026 is dedicated to the conversion of the AB part. Once all users, who currently work in the middle part of the W&N building, have moved to their new place, the middle part of W&N will be demolished.
The total demolition of the W&N building will start in early 2027 and be completed in early 2028. With that, the demolition will be over and then the delivery of the land by the VU to the municipality will be prepared.
TenT farewell
We will also say farewell to the TenT, located in the middle of campus, between the W&N building, Initium and Bellevue. For many students, this has been the place to take their exams for many years. The TenT had a temporary destination, whose use can no longer be extended. For this reason, the TenT will be dismantled in the coming months. The construction of a number of new examination rooms at other locations on campus and the use of the Emergohal and the VU Sports Centre during examination periods will replace the lost capacity. The last major test in the TenT took place on 2 June.
