UvA working on future-proof real estate development

Published on 08-09-2025 11:00
The UvA is developing a renewed accommodations strategy. Developments such as hybrid working, declining student numbers and stricter sustainability targets make it necessary to rethink how and where we use space. Also, some ongoing projects, such as in the University Quarter, have turned out to be more expensive and more complicated than previously anticipated.

The reassessment of the Accommodations Plan has begun, with discussions with faculties and service departments covering various scenarios, including consideration of costs and revenues, quality, sustainability and the social value of buildings.

The goal is to make well-considered decisions, by early 2026, about the use of buildings for the coming years. Collaboration and transparency will remain central. The reassessment will be aligned with the Strategic Plan and will also affect agreements with the Municipality of Amsterdam.

Staff and students will be informed about the progress in the coming months. The representative advisory bodies will be included in the process. As soon as the impact on each location becomes clearer, students and external parties will be informed.
