Summer Closure of the Minnaert Building – 21 July to 10 August |
Due to cost-saving measures also affecting the Faculty of Science, it has been decided – in line with other faculties – to close certain buildings over the summer. For us, this will apply only to the Minnaert Building. Specifically, the Minnaert Building will be closed during weeks 30, 31, and 32 – from 21 July to 10 August.
During these weeks, the Student Desk will be available by appointment only at room KBG 1.20 (first floor of the Koningsberger Building). |
