Renovation Van Hasseltlaan

This page is intended for the residents of the high-rise tower on Van Hasseltlaan.

Since 1974, the Van Hasseltlaan has provided accommodation for more than 700 students. The buildings are now almost 50 years old and maintenance is required to preserve them for the future. DUWO is investigating the possibility of redeveloping the buildings on Van Hasseltlaan. This can involve refurbishing, but also (partial) demolition and new construction, with extra student housing to be added.

We will keep you informed about the plans on this page.

Municipal frameworks
The plan that we are going to make must meet a number of frameworks that the municipality has established. These frameworks are contained in a so-called Plan Elaboration Framework (PUK) (only available in Dutch). So this is not a plan yet. Now that the frameworks are known, we have started a project group at DUWO for the renovation process.

A meeting for local residents took place on November 29, 2023. The municipality, Vakwerk and DUWO held a presentation. You can find its contents here. You can read the report of the meeting here (only availble in Dutch).

If you have to move during the renovation, you are entitled to a moving expense allowance. This compensation is intended to cover the costs you incur for the move.

You can read a detailed overview of the activities in the social plan. However, the social plan is unfortunately not available in English.
