You can enter the Teaching Lab with your campus card from 3 different entrances. The main entrance via Pulse, an entrance at the outdoor square (in front of IDE and the Teaching Lab), and a shortcut on the first floor for our support colleagues 
from Teaching & Learning Services and the Extension School so that they can easily support and connect to lecturers in the Teaching lab. Whichever entrance you choose, always bear in mind that there may be sessions/ workshops taking place. The entrance via Pulse is the one that is least intrusive for sessions in the open Teaching Lab space.

When leaving the Teaching Lab, don’t forget to push the button for the doors to open.

*Scope Teaching Lab: The Teaching Lab is the physical home of the Teaching Academy (the network for and by lecturers at the TU Delft). It is a dedicated space with special rooms for all TU Delft lecturers to connect, to share developments and innovation in education, to experiment with educational practices, and to spotlight lecturers.

You can order catering for your event via the Food and More banqueting portal of TU Delft.  Contact the secretary of your faculty if you need help

If you are organising an activity in the teaching lab and you want coffee, tea, dinks, lunches or snacks to go along with that, please know you need to order this yourself. This is not provided by the teaching academy/lab

Please inform the Teaching Lab host via teachinglab@tudelft about the order you put in for the catering.

Note: If the activity is only a meeting with a few people, there is a TUDelft coffeemachine on the first floor in the Kitchen.

.

No costs are charged for the rooms to faculties and support departments within TU Delft for education related TU Delft events. However the costs for catering and workshop materials need to be arranged by the organising party.

Students allowed by invitation only. Please contact our Teaching Lab or send your request to teachinglab@tudelft.nl. 

Besides from the details about booking a room, arranging catering, materials etc as mentioned above, take the following into account:

Each room has its own space, setting and equipment. Have a look at Facilities (tudelft.nl) for the details.
When you need a specific setting, please know you are responsible for arranging that yourself. The furniture is ‘flexible’ so you are free to move it around.
Just make sure the furniture is placed back in its original setting afterwards.

We ask you to leave the room tidy and clean for the next user.

The advice is to be there before your guests arrive to prepare the physical and digital setting.
Want to see the room before booking? Just walk by or contact teachinglab@tudelft.nl

The entry doors to the Teaching Lab close automatically after 17:00
After 17:00 the doors can only be opened (when leaving the teaching lab) by pushing the button next to the door!
