Welcome to the HaarwegCaretakerMr. H. van Beek is the caretaker at the Haarweg. He is responsible for the daily routine and is the first person to address if you have questions or (maintenance) problems. His office hours are Tuesdays from 8.00 to 8.30. During the rest of the week, on weekdays, a sign on his door will indicate if he is in or out. If he is in, you can walk in and consult him. The caretaker's office is located downstairs in the left building. You can also reach him by phone at (0317) 42 03 80 or by e-mail at hvbeek@idealis.nl. Building chairperson and corridor representative In theory, each corridor has a representative and every building a building chairperson. The building representatives form the tenant organisation SFO and promote the interests of the tenants as a whole. If you have any questions, problems or suggestions concerning your housing, you can contact your corridor representative or your building chairperson. The name and address of the building chairperson can be found on the bulletin board in the lobby of your building. Internetconnection Every room has a high-speed Internet connections (free of charge). Bicycles and motorcycle sheds Aside from the open bicycle shed, there are lockable sheds at every building. You can get access with your corridor key. There is also a motorcycle shed. You have to contact the caretaker to get a key for this particular shed. Parking Cars can be parked near the building. You are not allowed to park in front of the building because the driveway has to remain accessible for ambulance and fire brigade. Workplace On the premises, behind the electricity shed, there is an area that can be used as a workplace. You can work on your bicycle or motorcycle in here or any other activity that is too messy to do in your room. You can contact the caretaker to obtain the key. Barbecue areas You are not allowed to barbecue on the terraces because the heat could damage the roof covering. Barbecueing on the lawn is also not permitted. Washing machine Idealis does not supply a washing machine for corridors with Dutch and international students. This does not automatically mean that there is no washing machine available in your corridor. In most cases, students at some time, contributed money to collectively purchase a washing machine. Check with your corridor representative to see what kind of arrangements have been made at your corridor. Cleaning of the corridor The students living at the corridor clean the corridor. Anyone who participates in the cleaning receives a restitution of approximately € 14 every month. Ask your corridor representative for the proper amount. The showers The showers have thermostatically controlled tap. You can choose your preferred temperature on one side of the tap. The other side of the tap controls the amount of water you want to use. Please remove your hair from the sink and throw it in the dustbin to prevent obstruction. Refuse Refuse is collected every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Please tie up the KOMO refuse bags and leave them inside the entrance door of your corridor before 8.00 o'clock. You can put organic waste and glass in the refuse containers outside the building. See also the poster about garbage. For chemical waste and bulk waste please check the refuse calendar of the City Council of Wageningen. Waste paper Waste paper is collected every Wednesday morning. Please bundle it or put it in boxes and leave it inside the entrance door of your corridor before 8.00 o'clock. Spare key You can buy an extra corridor key from the caretaker; you will need to identify yourself. This key may not be used to allow someone else into your room to live (with you). The furniture Your room is furnished with a bed, desk, chair, wardrobe, bookcase and shelf. Curtains, a duvet and mattress are also supplied. All of these items are part of the inventory and must be left behind when you vacate the room. The furniture in your room has been designed for mobility and sturdiness. The wardrobe and filing cabinet have wheels, so that they can be easily moved. The bookshelves and the bulletin board can be moved up and down the rail to the desired area. The desk is designed for right and left handed people. You can loosen the screws with a coin and easily flip the top. The bed has a small locker. Service set When you arrive in your room you will find a service set containing a packet of bed linen (a duvet, a duvet cover, pillow, pillowcase and mattress sheet). All these items are your property. You may take them with you when you leave. Radiator In your room there is a radiator with a thermostatically controlled tap. The numbers indicate the heat: a high number indicates a high temperature. Because of environmental consider-ations the central heating of the building is turned down between roughly 23.00 at night and 6.00 in the morning. Cooking device (only applicable for rooms with a kitchen) In your room you will find an electric cooking device. The numbers on the control buttons indicate the heat; a high number (3) indicates high temperature. The electric cooking device needs some time to warm up and cool down, so please be careful after you have cooked your meal. Sink The sink and the drain pit have to be cleaned regularly, to prevent blockage of the drainpipe. Please do not throw food remains or refuse down the drain! Fire detector Every corridor has a smoke detector. Make sure that the batteries are replaced regularly, new batteries can be obtained from the caretaker for free. Corridor checks The caretaker checks the corridors to make sure the following items are in order:
