The TU/e campus is much more than a collection of buildings: it’s a carefully designed landscape that reflects changing ideas about education, research, architecture and collaboration. During this 90-minute tour, you will learn more about the iconic buildings such as the brutalist Auditorium and the impressive Atlas building.  Along the way you’ll encounter monuments, surprising works of art and award-winning architecture, including Metaforum, Vertigo and Ceres. Who designed them, what ideas shaped them, and what details have you probably walked past without ever noticing?

Know the campus like the back of your hand? You may be surprised by what you discover. Never visited before? This is your chance to explore a fascinating and lively part of Eindhoven, right along the Dommel.
