7th newsletter

September 2020

Welcome to the 7th edition of the newsletter! Make sure to check out our big partner update this edition!

The Design

Since we are getting closer to the final design phase, details about materials are becoming more clear. We are very excited for our test build at the University of Technology Eindhoven in June/July 2021. Here's a little sneakpeak of what it could look like on site!

The Team

Since the start of our project, our team has been growing to a number of 40 people! We are planning to even expand to 50 people! This means that it was necessary for Team VIRTUe to do some reordering in the team structures. As you can see some new teams have been added to make sure we cover all the aspects needed for the SDE 22!

Team VIRTUe has been able to find a space to have our weekly GMM (General Members Meeting) again! We are very thrilled to see each other again at a safe distance. Some of our new members had never experienced these meetings up until now! We are happy to be able to see everybody's faces at least once each week again!
This picture was taken at 28-09-2020, just before the release of the new regulations! We are not sure if we can continue these meetings physically but Team VIRTUe is still trying to figure out their way to cope with this.

The Partners

We would like to dedicate this partner update to our main construction partners: Stam + De Koning and Jongen Bouwpartners. Last edition, during the SDME 18, Stam + De Koning has already contributed to us greatly by taking on the responsibility of main construction partner. This time, Stam + De Koning and Jongen Bouwpartners are taking up this responsibility together. We are very excited to get this collaboration going!

Stam + De Koning is an Eindhoven based construction company. Jongen Bouwpartners is also a construction company, based in Landgraaf, Venlo and Roermond. They are both operating companies of VolkerWessels. In total, VolkerWessels unites 120 operating companies with a total of about 15.000 employees. These employees stick by the universal concept of: Building together on living, working and mobility. Click the logo's above to find out more about these companies! Stam + De Koning and Jongen Bouwpartners have been added as our main sponsors to the footer of the newsletter as well.
