Student house has to go as campus expands
The inhabitants of the strip of land between the campus and the Bongerd sports centre have to get packing. Wageningen UR wants to start building there in 2013.

Negotiations
It is not yet known when the students will have to leave. Evelien: ‘We are still in the negotiations phase. We know we have a strong position as tenants so we don't have to go. But we won't be making any friends if we dig our heels in. It's just a shame we have to leave; we have so much freedom here.'
It is still not entirely clear what the land will be used for. At any rate there will be a Campina site on the Mansholtlaan side. Another definite decision is the building of Orion. Ad van der Have of Wageningen UR's Facilities and Services says: ‘It is a strategic purchase. In the structure plan the land is designated for knowledge-intensive companies affiliated to the University. The further details of the allocation will be worked out with the municipality at a later date.'
