After the legendary KultuurKaffee was demolished and closure loomed for Complex - which was eventually overturned - the Student Council successfully pleaded for spaces where students could host small events or bridge gaps in their class schedule for little money. On October 25th the Board of Directors gave the final OK: the former Convivium will be renamed Loungebar 1050 (pronounce as mille cinquante) on November 15th. Until now this space was unused, save for the occasional drinks reception. That will now change thanks to the Student Council.
The official opening of loungebar 1050 starts at 12pm. You can have a drink and croque monsieurs. At 2.30pm, it’s time for coffee, thea and donuts. And at 5pm, professors serve you an after work drink. Have a look at the programme and be there!
The Basic Fit Lounge in Jette is located in the former Bowlingcafé. Vending machines will provide drinks and snacks. The space is available to study, play some pool or just hang out. It can also be rented out for lectures, debates, drinks receptions, meetings and cultural events… In short, all kinds of events that the more student oriented Tempus bar is less suited for.
Feel like having an event in one of the new campus lounges? Reservations can be made on MY.VUB. With this low threshold the Student Council and university hope that as many VUB students will want to host events for the whole community.
