,Insurance money
Insurers have agreed to pay 118.5 million euro to TU Delft as compensation for the fire that destroyed the Faculty of Architecture. TU Delft’s president, Dirk Jan van den Berg, is satisfied with this sum, which marks the largest amount of money ever paid out in the Netherlands for a singe fire insurance policy. The insurance policy had been issued by a consortium of six insurance companies, which in turn had the risk covered by reinsurers.
,Future Delft
Delft municipality will allocate space for the future activities of the Technological Innovative Complex Delft (TICD), which will include ‘appropriate residential environments’ for TU Delft students and staff and associated knowledge institutes and companies, according to a municipality-drafted plan called ‘Vision for Design of Spatial Structure 2030’. TICD is seen as part of the continuing drive to transform Delft into a leading international ‘creative knowledge city’.
Studenten geven de kwaliteit van faciliteiten van de TU Delft en communicatie en onderwijsorganisatie dit jaar een 6,7. Dat is 0,1 punt meer dan in 2007. Dat blijkt uit de monitor logistieke kwaliteit, die dit jaar voor het vijfde opeenvolgende jaar is gehouden. Alle 15.395 studenten kregen een enquête met vragen over zaken als studieplekken, kopieermachines, organisatie van tentamens en studieregistratie. 37,7 Procent vulde de vragenlijst in. De grootste winst werd geboekt bij de informatievoorziening en de inschrijfprocedure rond de minors (nu een 6,1, in 2007 een 5,2). Achteruit gingen de waarderingen voor kopiëren (-0,1), ict-voorzieningen (-0,3) en studentenhuisvesting (0,1). Die laatste scoort als enige een onvoldoende (5,4).
