Working Concepts and Timeline of Housing ITC on Campus

In this year’s March the selection has been made for parties to attend the next phase in the European tender for the design team of the new ITC building. This design team will consist of architects, engineers and advisors. Thirteen parties are invited to present their ideas in the next months, of which three parties will be awarded. The final award of this tender will take place in June. 

WORKPLACE CONCEPTS

In the past months the project “Workplaces in the New ITC Building” has been kicked off by conducting a series of interviews with the leadership of the science departments and the support departments. The goal was to explore aspects such as organizational identity, the processes and the drivers for the new working environment. This has led to a first impression of shared values and ideas for the new building such as maintaining the ITC culture and identity, community building, adaptively for change and the quality of the workplace.

Through a series of workshops with representatives of the employees and students, the next step will be a more profound investigation of the working processes and workplace requirements. Participants are invited by their supervisor. The first series of workshops is planned for April 2018. The second will take place in May and the final series (per department) are planned in June. 

Our goal is to have a clear understanding of the possible workplace concepts for ITC before the start of the summer vacation. These concepts will be included in the designing phase which starts in August this year.
