CONCLUSIONS THE LONG-TERM DEMAND FOR BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES The figure below summarizes the main conclusions of the analysis of the long-term demand for buildings and facilities. This is shown for each spatial category.

Cultural facilities are capable of meeting current and future demand (many users would like to see a dance facility added). Despite their long opening hours, the sports facilities on campus are subject to overcrowding.

The current supply of restaurant and catering facilities is capable of meeting future demand in terms of both quality and quantity. The arrival of ITC on campus will lead to increased spatial requirements. The focus on further internationalization will imply further qualititative demands in terms of diversity of supply.

Based on current workplace concepts, the qualitative demand for office space will remain similar to the current situation until 2025. However, there is broad support for more flexible office spaces that better reflect workplace dynamics. The incremental introduction of the guideline of 12m² of floor space per employee (FTE) will lead to a gradual fall in the demand for office space. The arrival of ITC on campus will lead to an increase in requirements of approximately 6,800m².

Current space used on campus in m² (FFO):

The demand for education-related areas that can be used flexibly will rise across the board. The capacity to meet this demand can partly be created by using the current supply of buildings and facilities more fully. The arrival of ITC on campus will lead to additional demand for space of approximately 550m². The clustering of Health (and the growth of Technical Medicine) will lead to addition demand for space of approximately 3,700m².

■ Other facilities

The shortage of space is expected to remain constant in terms of quality. This means that the current vacancy rates in the current supply of research areas are also expected to remain constant. The LTHS does not anticipate large-scale spatial changes (with the exception of the goal of reducing the current vacancy rates). The arrival of ITC on campus will lead to an increase in the demand for research space of approximately 910m². 04 THE LONG-TERM DEMAND 32
