Visit TU Delft campus virtually

News - 11 February 2021

A lot of our alumni like to come back to campus for a trip down memory lane and to find out what is new at the Mekelpark. They do so by attending alumni events, backstage tours or by joining a reunion. Right now, many facilities and buildings are closed and there is very little activity on campus. But there is a way to stroll around our campus from the comfort of your own home.

TU Delft Alumni Relations listed four ways to visit the campus digitally.

Various buildings of the TU Delft campus

Startup Science normally organises tours where you can get a look behind the scenes at various parts of the campus. Since this isn’t possible at the moment, they now offer an online tour instead. You can visit almost all of our buildings virtually and you can watch the videos to learn more.
