The BioNanoscience (BN), Chemical Engineering (ChemE), and Biotechnology (BT) Faculties were relocated from their former accommodation in Delft and consolidated in the new university building. It was a precarious job, consisting of the relocation of 6,800 m3 of laboratory inventory. At the peak, 35 staff members from all divisions of Convoi were working in Delft.
For the customer it was a huge advantage that Convoi has a wide range of employability in such a specialised relocation project.
