Transformation of S&C

News - 01 August 2018 - Communication

The Unit Sports & Culture (S&C) of TU Delft is undergoing a literal and figurative transformation. Literal: the two separate buildings have been physically combined into a single building; figurative: S&C will operate under a different name as of 29 August, and the range of options and facilities on offer will be drastically expanded.

Moreover, this transformation is supported by the introduction of a single general subscription that can be purchased as of 20 August. One card for participation in all ticket hours, free attendance at virtually all events and – on an individual basis – free use of all new facilities!

One subscription
What does this new subscription entail, what possibilities does it offer and – perhaps even more importantly – what will it cost? To get right to it, the price list below shows the rates for the new academic year (2018-2019). The purchase of a weekly subscription is a new option that offers even more flexibility.

The possibilities
The subscription offers many benefits and possibilities; view the full range below. A brief explanation:

  • free participation in all ticket hours,
  • free advice (walk-in consultation) from the specialists of Boost,
  • nearly all flexible activities offered without prior registration can be attended free of charge,
  • the reservation of equipment in the ACTlab, the use of the Campus Farm facilities, the use of the Freetown facilities, including a kitchen,
  • all forms of free practice.

Free practice sounds a bit vague; basically, it means that it is possible to, for example, play a game of basketball with friends, to grow strawberries in one of the garden plots of the Campus Farm or to play games in one of the new VR booths. Moreover, all practice rooms (except band rooms) can be booked if they are free; a separate culture subscription was previously required to use them. The culture subscription will disappear, just like the sports card.

Courses, projects & flexible activities The courses and projects of the former Unit Sports and Unit Culture are not included in the subscription; they each have their own registration rate. You do not need a subscription to participate in these courses and projects. Flexible activities, such as events, can also be attended without a subscription. Sometimes flexible activities can be attended free of charge and sometimes they must be purchased. In many cases, non-subscribers pay more than those with a subscription.
