Starting March 31, coordinator of IEC Sylvia Erkelens expects the crowds and the mess to start building up again. To prevent that, ten banners will be put up in the open spaces from floors 1 to 0 to inform visitors about exam week. All LED screens will be displaying ‘non-admonishing’ texts pointing out to students that studying in a clean environment is more pleasant than doing so in a pigsty. Creating more cleaning opportunities might also help: extra cleaning rounds on Sundays, emptying trashcans more often, and placing five extra waste containers throughout the three underground floors.

Whether or not the lecture theaters on the ground floor will become available for students to study quietly will be decided on April 3. It depends on the exam schedule.
