In this first phase of the project (scheduled to run until the summer of 2023), the approach to the building's low-rise section is on the programme. In this phase, the necessary preparations have already been made in the building, such as indoor relocations and carrying out various activities on the installations. Furthermore, in this phase, work will be carried out on the architectural maintenance of the façade and the accessibility of the building.

Troublesome work postponed
Initially, some activities that could lead to noise nuisance (phase 2) were to take place this summer, including sawing out openings for the windows in the basement. In consultation with the prospective contractor, it was decided to postpone this sawing work until a later date, without delaying the total completion time or phasing of the project.

As soon as the contractor starts the troublesome sawing work, REC J/K will be temporarily out of use (with the exception of storage and certain ICT activities). In consultation with the users, a temporary replacement flex space will be set up during that period.

At the end of July, the contractor will start the work that can be done while the building remains in use.

What’s where?
As the building will remain in use during most of the work and will be tackled in parts, there will be some (internal) moves along the way. See the floor plans for the current situation, being maintained and updated soon on the Roeterseiland campus site.

Around the building
In consultation with the contractor, building materials will be transported by water wherever possible. This way we want to limit nuisance in the area as much as possible. Other traffic movements take place via Valckenierstraat.

Good to know:

• The entrance on Valckenierstraat will be used as a temporary entrance during phase 1.
• During the work, the bicycle storage area will be on the other side of REC J/K.
• In the meantime, an extra educational building on Roeterseiland next to REC J/K is being constructed (Plot V).
