Gradually, people will start returning to the EUR campus over the next few weeks. For this reason, several businesses will be reopening soon.

Last Tuesday, the Dutch Cabinet announced that universities and universities of applied sciences will be able to start teaching practicals, administering examinations and supervising vulnerable students on campus again from 15 June. EUR, too, announced that it would gradually reopen its campus<\/a> starting from the 15th. Examinations will continue to be administered online until September<\/a>, but starting from 2 June, 318 study spots will be available<\/a> at the University Library, in addition to the spots that can be reserved at the Tinbergen Building by students who are having difficulty focusing on their studies at home<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since some students will be making their way back to the campus soon, several businesses on campus will reopen next week. Marc van Hooijdonk, who owns Tostiworld and has been acting as a spokesperson for the businesses that make up the food court these last few months, arrived at an agreement with the university last Friday. \u201cLike the UL, the Food Plaza will open to the public on 2 June. Not all businesses will be reopening on that date, but Tostiworld and Has Kebab definitely will.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enough visitors for a decent turnover?<\/h2>

The business owners and the university will be discussing the exact regulations and protocols to be followed at the food court this week. Van Hooijdonk previously told us that many considerations will have to be weighed. \u201cThe Food Plaza is a pretty big place, so as far as safety is concerned, things will be fine, but the main question to be answered is: how many people will show up on campus? Not all businesses will be able to open their doors again if only a hundred people are allowed on campus. That would be a waste of time, from a financial point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n

Van Hooijdonk told us that the business owners\u2019 negotiations with the university regarding a possible rent reduction<\/a> for those months during which their businesses were negatively affected by the coronavirus crisis are still ongoing. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to find the right solution together. You can\u2019t just offer all business owners a one-size-fits-all arrangement. What\u2019s needed is business-specific solutions, and they take a bit of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t
