Thank you Paviljoen!

“I'll take the scent of the Paviljoen in a bottle!” And, “Thank you Paviljoen”. Nostalgia and melancholy are always just around the corner whenever a farewell party is held, as it was on Friday February 15. For the very last time, a party was thrown in honor the demise of the IPO building and the Paviljoen. Cursor's video maker Fabian Lucas Luijckx was there.

Students, doctoral candidates, employees past and present, alumni of Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences; they all came together on Friday in the Paviljoen to sniff the scent one last time. “I'll take the scent of the Paviljoen in a bottle!” One last time to wander the corridors, recall memories and bid farewell. And this really was it because the building is now closed and awaiting demolition. The department has already moved to Atlas.

Goodbye was also said to the IPO building, which had housed some of the department. This was done with laser gaming on the premises. At the same time, the game 'Nothing is what it seems' was played in the Paviljoen, a game akin to ‘The Mole’. After a buffet meal, the real farewell could begin; the final party in the Paviljoen canteen. For the very last time…

Paviljoen was temporarily baptised into Pullûhrijk.

“Paviljoen finally fulfills its destiny”

Demolition work on the exterior of the Paviljoen, the oldest building on our campus, will start a bit later due to the presence of bats in the cavity walls. But that certainly hasn’t led to inaction: circular demolition of the building’s interior is in full swing, with the aim of reusing as much material as possible. “What do you have left when you take out all the rubbish? There’s much of value inside as it turns out.”

Suspicion of bats in Paviljoen delays demolition

Bats may very well delay the demolition of the Paviljoen building. Real Estate Management strongly suspects that these nocturnal animals have nested in the old campus building. Further research, which is planned for coming spring, will have to provide a definitive answer. The demolition process will probably take several months. After having been used for over sixty years, the doors of the Paviljoen were locked on Tuesday.

The Paradox of the Paviljoen

It is loved and loathed. Often a little forgotten out there on the edge of the campus. Patched up time and again, waiting endlessly for a new build that never appears. Anyone stepping over the threshold for the first time in years since graduating or retiring is greeted by the familiar odor of “this stinking hole” - nonetheless loved so fiercely by many of the building's occupants. This is the paradox of the Paviljoen: once the first building at Eindhoven Technical College as it then was, destined to remain temporary for more than sixty years. In early 2019 the doors really will be closing.

To aid recycling, TU/e keen to demolish Paviljoen cautiously

Once the Paviljoen has been demolished TU/e is keen to use as much of the materials as possible in a new building on campus. TU/e's oldest building will fall vacant next calendar year, once its residents move to Atlas, and will be largely demolished - but very likely cautiously.
