Photographing and/or filming in our building is permitted. However, there are a number of rules applicable.
Relaxation and contemplation
At Sports & Culture Center X at TU Delft there is a central Contemplation Room where you can come to yourself. You can go there for reflection, meditation, prayer or just for a moment of silence, away from the daily worries. All employees, students and invited guests are welcome, but the room is intented for individual use only. An X subscription isn't neccesary for this, but the TU Delft X houserules are applicable.
Sporting activities on the roof
Using the roof for activities such as skiing, sledging and cycling activities are not permitted on the roof, due to the risk of personal injuries and the possibility of damaging the roof.
