In the previous update, you read everything you needed to know to get back to work in the Maria Montessori building.
On 10 August, 40 colleagues were waiting outside the Maria Montessori Building in the morning to collect their keys. Around 70 per cent of staff have now collected their keys, and the faculty is in full swing. Initial reactions to our new working environment have been overwhelmingly positive.
What can you expect in the upcoming weeks?
- Over the coming weeks, the housing team will carry out follow-up visits. During these visits, they will answer questions, identify any issues arising from the move and assess whether there is a need for additional supplies, such as plastic sheeting, whiteboards, furniture or other facilities.
- You can also send in request and questions via this feedback form. Be sure to switch to the English version of the form using the language toggle in the top right corner.
- The living room on the third floor is increasingly taking shape as the new beating heart of the faculty.
- You’ll find ever more practical information on the housing project page:
- Office supplies
- Receiving and sending mail
- Reserving meeting rooms
- What to do if you are missing a box
- How to get hold of string for hanging up art
- What we do with the nameplates by the door
- Our new visiting and mail adress
- And more...
What do we expect of you in the coming weeks?
- Unlike in the Erasmus building, rooms in Maria Montessori should always remain unlocked to encourage shared use. Only lock a room temporarily if you are stepping out briefly and no one else is present. You should therefore store valuable items and confidential documents in lockable drawer units or roller-door cupboards. If your drawer unit or roller-door cupboard is missing a key, or if you need multiple keys for shared use, lock the room and send an email to huisvestingfftr [at] ru.nl (huisvestingfftr[at]ru[dot]nl);
- Inform your network that you’re working in a new building. For example, by updating your signature, by updating your profile page or in a post on LinkedIn.
- To prevent damage to the building, its interior and staff, we kindly ask you:
- to not move furniture on your own accord;
- to not place any items in front of or against windows, as this is prone to damage the shades;
- to use suction cups, magnets or the magnetic boards to hang items, and hang artwork and whiteboards only on the rails, as tape damages the glass’ fireproof coating.
Any questions?
Over the coming weeks, a whole range of colleagues will be on hand to ensure that our move to the Maria Montessori building goes as smoothly as possible. You’ll find them at reception on the ground floor and in the corridors, and you can get in touch with them in the following ways:
