The campus square is the heart of the campus. It is also the place where you can work or have meetings at one of the outdoor cafés or on one of the benches. There, you can also find a grand café, a supermarket, coffee places, food trucks, a library and a bookstore. You can play sports on the beach volleyball courts, the basketball court or at the sports centre. Or take a walk through the Zuidas botanical gardens, the green oasis of our campus. Next to this, the cultural centre offers performances and workshops.
