DE PAKKERIJ

The name ‘De Pakkerij’ dates from the time that the building was still owned by the textile manufacturer Van Heek, who used it as a warehouse, known by locals as ‘de pakkerie’. Nowadays, the building lives up to its name by operating as a home to four student associations: AEGEE-Enschede, Alpha, Audentis, and Taste. The building is located on the Oude Markt, in the heart of the city center, where on Thursday eveneing it is a lively atmosphere of fun.

The Pakkerij has been a Union building since the establishment of the Student Union. The building has had its own management committee eversince, the Beheercommissie Pakkerij (BCP). Anyone who enters the Pakkerij is involved with the BCP.

The management committee includes one board member of each association, a Facility Team Leader of the Facility Department of the University of Twente, the portfolio manager Accommodation, and a coordinator ARBo and Head of Business Assistance of the University of Twente.
