The programmes at Erasmus MC now have six hundred additional study spaces and sixty new workspaces. As of this week, students can make use of these spaces. This expansion comes at an opportune time: with a new curriculum and the start of renovations following last year’s fire, the extra spaces are much needed.<\/p>\n

In the largest new lecture hall at Erasmus MC, there are seats for one hundred students. Lectures can be given here, but it is also a place for independent study.<\/span><\/p>

The area still smells new, and not everything is completely finished yet. However, students are already welcome to work in the newest part of the Education Centre. Located just a few doors away from the \u2018older\u2019 section in the middle of the hospital, you can reach it easily by walking along the white balcony. The corner with a food and drink outlet is still closed, and some audiovisual equipment in certain rooms still needs attention. \u201cBut it\u2019s already looking fantastic\u201d, says Leen Blok, senior policy adviser for education at Erasmus MC. In the fourteen educational spaces, which together offer six hundred tables and chairs, students and staff will eventually be able to work in a fully hybrid way. The largest new room can accommodate a hundred people, while the smallest holds 24.<\/p>\n

Outside these rooms, there are also sixty workspaces, spread out along the corridors. These can be used for solo study or group work. The latter will become more common with the launch of Erasmus Physician 2030, the new curriculum. This curriculum is more project-based, requiring more collaboration. \u201cWe have a system that allows students to check whether an educational space is in use at that moment or will be free later that day for group work\u201d, Blok explains.<\/p>\n\n\t
