Working during the summer closure

This message was updated on 3 July 2025.

During the summer closure from Monday 14 July to Sunday 10 August 2025, a number of buildings will be closed. This applies to the Grotius Building, the Erasmus Building and the Elinor Ostrom Building. During this period, staff members who would like to work on campus are welcome to do so in the Maria Montessori Building and Berchmanianum.

The Maria Montessori building is open from 7am to 6pm on weekdays, Berchmanianum is open from 9am to 4 pm. On Friday 18 July, all buildings will be closed due to the entry of the Four Days Marches.

Workplaces

At Berchmanianum there are plenty of workstations equipped with a docking station, one or two monitors, a keyboard and a mouse where you can work with your own laptop. There are also plenty of workstations with just a desk and desk chair. Don't have a laptop? Then request one through your department. You do not need to reserve a workstation.

Customisation is arranged for some departments because of specific software, equipment or confidentiality. These workplaces are located in the Maria Montessori building and are not freely accessible. Upon entering the Maria Montessori building, a reception desk employee will help you find your workstation. Do you have questions about the customised workstation? Then ask your supervisor.

The workstations are equipped as standard. Therefore, adjust your workstation properly to avoid complaints and work comfortably. Watch this video with tips for good posture.

Do you need ergonomic aids or adjustments to your workstation? Then submit a request via the Service Centre.

What facilities are available?

  • Coffee machines and tea taps
  • Printers
  • Lockers can be used for an extended period around the summer closure

Berchmanianum and the Maria Montessori building have a bicycle shed with a locked area for employees. Coming by car? The Gymnasion (P7b), Berchmanianum (P13) and Erasmuslaan (P7a) car parks are within walking distance of both buildings. The Grotius Building car park is closed from 14 July to 10 August.
