Last night, while eating some pizza, we exchanged ideas on the possible interpretation of the communal spaces.

Nice to share these creative and diverse ideas! From relaxation and study areas to a party room with chocolate fountain... what would you like to see in one of the common areas?

Last week, you came together with 45 ambassadors during an online pub quiz. You battled for 3 nice pricez. 🏆 It was great to see how enthusiastic you were and that the connection is growing.

And thanks again to the 9 ambassadors who organised the pub quiz! What is going to be the next event? 😉

Who also started or ended the year last week by eating an oliebol (or several)? 😉 If you haven’t yet tasted this Dutch snack, then you should definitely do so next New Year’s Eve. And you might already be eating the oliebol in your new home. 😊

Or are you more into New Year’s resolutions and a healthy start of the year? What are your New Year’s resolutions?

One of ours is to make the contact with and between you as LOT ambassadors even closer. And to make this community and housing everything you need and more!

Last week, you already kicked off the festive season with a fun Christmas drink. Hopefully you had a good time! We enjoyed seeing you all together and hearing your self-made (maybe future 😉 ) house rules.

From team LOT, we want to wish you very happy holidays. Enjoy it together with all your loved ones. May 2024 be a year with lots of new adventures, friendships and building a close community together. Cheers! 🥂

This Monday and today, we were at Atlas on the WinTu/er village! Here we asked students' opinions on how the communal areas should be designed. Very valuable to gather all your ideas.

This is also a starting point for the Hackaton scheduled for 7 March 2024. Then we will concretise the layout of the communal areas together with you. Will you be there? Register as interested (if you are not already) and we will keep you informed! https://lotcommunity.nl/join/

Last Tuesday we celebrated Sinterklaas. This is a Dutch tradition you will probably know or will definitely get to know while living in the Netherlands. Everyone who came to the walk in hour last Tuesday got a small surprise!

Every culture has its own traditions and festivities. Let's get to know each other's culture within the community!

What is your favourite festivity or tradition?

The construction of 735 student housing units on the TU/e campus is progressing at lightning speed. Already the west tower has reached its highest point, the 16th floor at 50 meters high.

Your opinion is important! So tell us, what would you prefer to do? Rent a fully furnished room and pay around €40,- extra each month? Or would you prefer to settle all your own furniture? And why?

We are very curious, let us know!

Last night, we got together with a group of LOT ambassadors, research studio cocosmos, Industrial Design students and the LOT team.

Together, we prepared next week's street interviews. Besides that, the Industrial Design students presented their design for the community spaces of the LOT buildings. The LOT ambassadors were able to give their opinions about the design. And very important: we got to know each other a bit better while enjoying some pizza! 🍕We had a great night. Thanks everybody!

Want to give your valuable input on how to build the LOT community and design the common areas of the LOT buildings? And also talk about topics like mental health, life on campus and roommates? You get a LOT coffee mug in return. ☕

Meet us next week from 13 to 17 November on the TU/e campus. You can recognise us by the mobile LOT house! 🏠

Last week, a group of Industrial Design students visited the construction site. 🏗️ There is so much creativity to be found on campus. That's why one of the project topics of TU/e Industrial Design students of this semester is the challenge around designing the community and community spaces of LOT.

To do that properly, it is important to see the common areas in real life, right? 😊

They have conducted ethnographic research on student communities and are currently designing concepts for LOT. 💡 We hope you have fun while creating the ideas and we are very curious about them!

He doesn't even study at a university yet, but already helps building a student community! Awesome, Leander! 🙌

If you were at the event on 19 September, you may have already met him. In fact, he helped announce the names of the new buildings. 🏗️

Leander is going to enrol for a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering at the TU/e. He would like to get to know students from different backgrounds and learn to form an opinion in major projects like this. Leander is raised bilingual (Dutch and German), so he can welcome Dutch, English as well as German-speaking students into the LOT community and campus life. Great! 👏

Do you also want to join a community with other inspiring students? And live in one of the new buildings on the TU/e campus?

Yesterday, the names of the three new buildings on the TU/e campus were announced! From August 2024, 735 students will call this their new home. The mastermind behind the names took a moment to explain how he chose them. 💡

The names match with the names of other buildings on the TU/e campus. They all belong to a certain mythology. Castor and Pollux are figures from Greek mythology. Terra is the goddess of earth.

Although construction is still in full swing, as a LOT ambassador you can already contribute to making the living environment even better. So sign up, become part of an inspiring community and share your ideas! 🙌
