Caf\u00e9 in de Smitse<\/a>, or simply \u2018de Smitse\u2019 as it is affectionately referred by students, will move to a new location in March 2016. Although the final contracts are yet to be signed, the bar looks set to move to the Hatta Building. <\/p>\n

The bar will begin to pay rent as of next year, however current Chair of Caf\u00e9 in de Smitse, Pasqualle Seijkens, has confirmed prices will not be raised, \u2018at least in the next couple of years\u2019.<\/p>\n

Moving to the Hatta Building\u2019s 1st floor means more space and a larger terrace for the student bar. \u201cThe capacity will grow to around 350 people, our terrace will be on the [new] plaza in the sun, and will be much larger,\u201d explained Pasqualle. Other plans include a room for private functions, and the \u2018option to do some hot snacks,\u2019 she said. De Smitse will continue to work with volunteers, however the new location will provide more flexibility regarding opening hours, \u2018as the building won\u2019t close at 22:45,\u2019 as is the case now.<\/p>\n

\u2018More modern industrial look\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

The bar is working with architects and interior designers to create the new-look Smitse, but they want to retain the current atmosphere. \u201cRight now, we have a very brown, traditional looking bar. We still want to keep the vibe that\u2019s in the Smitse now, but in a bit of a more modern industrial look,\u201d said Pasqaulle. HK <\/p>\n
