The plan

The Castor tower on the west side will contain 278 student housing units, while the Pollux tower on the east side consists of 371 student housing units. The towers are about 50 meters high with a total of 14 residential floors. Between the two towers is Terra, with 86 homes divided into 5 streets with 2 floors. Here there will be group homes with 6 or 8 student rooms.

In the tower Castor on the west side there are:

- 28 group homes for 4 people, with a common living room (about 25m2), kitchen and bathroom. The rooms are 14 to 15 m2.

- 112 studios for 1 person, with their own kitchen and bathroom. The studios are about 24 m2.

- 54 apartments for 2 people, with their own kitchen and bathroom. These are approximately 37 m2

In the tower Pollux on the east side are:

- 28 group homes for 6 people, with a common living room (about 29m2), kitchen and bathroom. The rooms are between 154 to 17 m2.

- 173 studios for 1 person, with their own kitchen and bathroom. These are about 24 m2.

- 30 apartments for 2 people, with their own kitchen and bathroom. The apartments are around 37 m2.

In the low-rise Terra are:

- 5 group homes for 6 people, with a common living room (28m2), kitchen and bathroom. The rooms are about 15 to 18 m2.

- 7 group homes for 8 people, with a common living room (41m2), kitchen and bathroom. The rooms are about 15 to 18 m2.

Community spaces in Haven

As an extension of your living space, there are communal spaces in the complexes, where you can come together to eat together, relax and do activities together. In tower Castor, there are 7 communal spaces of around 35 m2, with 6-meter-high ceilings, each with its own theme designed with student input. In tower Pollux, there are 14 common rooms of around 13 m2, where there is space to get together and share cupboards to exchange books with your neighbors, for example.

The Hangout

Furthermore, for Haven residents, there is The Hangout. This is the home of the Haven community and is located in the low-rise building. The Hangout offers space for getting together: during the day in café-setting, at night in bar-setting. The management, organization and interpretation of activities is carried out by Haven residents: this leaves room for own initiatives and exchanges between residents.

As you can see from the floor plan, there will be space for water: the boulevard on the Blauwe Loper. At the low-rise Terra there will be a nice outdoor space to relax. In addition to the group homes in Terra, there will be stores, restaurants or organizations. Currently, the process is still ongoing to find suitable entrepreneurs with a social heart to complement the existing offerings on the TU/e campus. In the summer we will announce which entrepreneurs these are. In addition to the student housing, there are about 160 more nesting boxes for birds and bats in the facades and on the green roof of the low-rise buildings. The planting on the grounds and on the roof of the low-rise buildings provides food for the birds and bats in the area.
