Delft University of Technology

The Delft University of Technology, located in the Netherlands, is the oldest and largest Dutch public technical university. It boasts over 27,000 students and 6,600 employees across eight faculties and various research institutes. Originally situated in Delft's historic city center, the university later relocated to a separate neighborhood in the latter half of the 20th century. In 2006, the university neighborhood was transformed into Mekelpark, a safer area for cyclists and pedestrians, replacing old infrastructure such as parking structures and bike lanes. Mekelpark's 832-meter-long promenade, flanked by stone benches, facilitates commuting between faculty buildings.

The Venue

TU Delft Aula

TU Delft Aula was designed by Van den Broek en Bakema architecture bureau founded by two TU Delft alumni Jo van den Broek and Jaap Bakema. It was officially opened on 6 January 1966 by Dutch Prime Minister Jo Cals. It is a classical example of a structure built in Brutalist style. TU Delft Aula, which symbolically opens the Mekelpark, houses main university restaurant and store, as well as lecture halls, auditoria, congress center, and administrative offices of the university. All doctoral promotion, honoris causa ceremonies, as well as academic senate meetings take place in the Aula.
