A section of the centre is cordoned off by white plastic, behind which construction workers are working hard to restore the area. “The area suffered superficial fire and water damage, so it’s more of a clean-up than a renovation”, an Erasmus MC spokesperson said.

The Education Centre reopened on 9 October. Even building Gk, where lecturer Jurgen Damen was fatally shot, has been operational again since September 29. “The classroom where it happened remains closed, but it’s a large building with plenty of workspaces, so the rest of the area remains accessible to students and staff”, said the spokesperson.
