10 July 2025

On Friday 18 July, between 08.00 and 17.00, the Gorlaeus bicycle parking will be temporarily closed. This closure is necessary to apply new line markings. These improvements will make the parking area more organised, safer and user-friendly. Additional signage will be installed later this summer.

Where can you park your bike on Friday 18 July?

• Students can use the public bicycle racks near the Huygens building.
• Staff can use the secured bicycle parking facilities at the Huygens.

Need your bike on 18 July? Make sure to remove it in time

• Will you need your bike on Friday 18 July? Make sure to remove it from the Gorlaeus parking no later than Thursday 17 July at 23.00 hrs. Access will not be possible during the closure.
• Not using your bike on Friday 18 July and planning to leave it in the bike parking? If so, please place it in one of the racks on the lower level. That’s where the least work will take place, so the contractors will not be obstructed.

If your bike is not moved, the contractors may relocate it themselves to ensure the work can be carried out safely and efficiently.

The Gorlaeus bicycle parking will reopen on Monday 21 July at 07.00 hrs.
