The Mariaplaats location was evacuated and closed on Thursday afternoon, 15 January, due to a fire following an explosion in the Visschersteeg near Mariaplaats. Fortunately, all staff and students were able to leave our buildings safely. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the fire and explosion. We wish them much strength.
