Instructions for Exiting the Emergency Situation
Below you may find the renewed instructions for the gradual re-opening of the EKA building. As of next week, in addition to the workshops and labs, EKA will open the independent study areas for students in the C-wing. Of course, be careful and follow the 2+2 rule; no more than 10 persons are allowed in any space at one time. In case of smaller rooms, only 50% of their capacity may be filled. All spaces must be pre-booked through your head of curricula.
Stay healthy and take care of yourself and others!
