Among the responsibilities of the department are the canteen, reception, events, warehouse and security. In addition to our office, we have a guest house, a kind of mini hotel with ten rooms. The facilities department manages the guesthouse.

We also have a number of technical staff at the facilities department. They ensure that the technical systems function optimal.
