Accessibility of SBE buildings

On this page you will find more information about the disabled accessibility of our buildings. If you have any questions based on this information, please feel free to contact us!

SBE has a number of buildings in use:

School of Business and Economics

Tongersestraat 53

Access to building

Parking lots

There are parking spaces on the side of the building, of which 1 spot near the main entrance is intended as a parking for disabled people. These are only accessible by means of the UM card if permission has been granted by the building manager.

Elevators and stairs

There are 3 elevators and all stairwells are equipped with an armrest.

The elevator in zone B (at the main entrance) goes from floor -1 (basement) to floor 4. The elevator in zone F goes from floor 1 to floor 3. The elevator in zone C goes from floor 0 to floor - 1 (colloquium rooms)

Rooms not accessible for wheelchair

In the E-zone (teaching areas), a number of floors are not accessible for wheelchair users, namely floors E2 and E3. In addition, meeting room B3.01 is not accessible for wheelchairs.

In the Franz-Palm lecture hall, only the upper gallery is suitable for the disabled audience. Wheelchair users who give presentations here can use the Kruithuis entrance via the entrance with help of an attendant and through the elevating platform; the presentation area of ​​the room can be reached.

Toilets

A wheelchair accessible toilet is available in building zone E0 and zone A-1. Please follow the signage.

Evacuation

In case of emergency, the elevators are disabled. If you need help to flee via the stairs, help is available: our emergency response officers (company emergency responders) will help you to leave the building via the stairwell with a so-called EVAC chair.

What to do when the fire alarm goes off:

  • Go to the nearest stairwell that leads to an emergency exit.
  • Tell others that you need help so that they can notify the emergency response organization.
  • If there is a telephone in your flight area, call 1333; otherwise, call +31 (0) 43 3875566 on your mobile phone to inform the central service of your location. Also, provide your mobile telephone number so that communication with the emergency response organization is possible.
  • Remain in the escape area of ​​the stairwell until the evacuation team arrives and, if necessary, contact 1333 again.

Tongersestraat 51

Access to building

Parking lots

There are parking spaces on the side of the building (see location Ts53). These are only accessible by means of the UM card if permission has been granted by the building manager.

45th Dies Natalis

Eighteen students completed their bachelor's degree in 2020 with a thesis that was labelled ‘excellent’ by their faculty. Here you will find a short introduction to these excellent theses in the form of an "elevator pitch" from each student, plus a video in which the supervisor briefly addresses the lucky winner.

"It Comes in Waves: Measuring Neural Correlates of ASMR with EEG'


Ana's elevator pitch 
Have you ever felt a deeply relaxing, fuzzy tingling sensation in your scalp as you listened to the calm voice of a narrator telling their story? If this sounds familiar, then you are not alone! In fact, the feeling has a name: Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR). Praised for its calming, sleep-inducing and soothing effects, many experiencers have reported to use it for their struggles with insomnia and daily anxieties. However, despite its mainstream popularity and claims of helpfulness, we know only little about the phenomenon. Well, someone has to start somewhere. So as one of the first, we explored the changes of brain activity during ASMR.

"'Defining the influence of miR-30d-3p on the angiogenic capacity of cardiac endothelial cells in vitro and in vivo"


Esther's elevator pitch 
The transition of adaptive cardiac hypertrophy to heart failure is characterized by impaired angiogenesis, resulting in capillary rarefaction of the myocardium and leading to cardiac dysfunction. 

MicroRNAs are pivotal in negatively regulating post-transcriptional activity by fine-tuning mRNA levels. Research in cancer suggested miR-30d as important regulator of cell migration, invasion and proliferation, three hallmark events of endothelial cells in the process of angiogenesis. 

The proposed research aims at investigating the mechanism of miR-30d-3p related to the angiogenic capacity of cardiac endothelial cells in heart failure, by clarifying miR function and target genes via in vitro/in vivo miR-30d-3p expression level modulation, human and mouse heart failure samples, and 2D in vitro models.​

"Biomarkers of oxidative stress'"


Gijs' elevator pitch 
In the Honours project “Biomarkers of oxidative stress” my team and I embarked on a journey exploring the potential of a greatly underestimated technique called Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spectroscopy. We validated a method for direct quantification and identification of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in blood with EPR Spectroscopy, using spin trapping agents that enable conservation of these highly reactive molecules. By validating a method able to measure ROS directly, we provided a tool that can both contribute to preventing and managing chronic diseases as well as provide a basis for evidence based-environmental health protection. Finally, we conducted a self-experiment to examine the effect of particulate matter on ROS-levels

"Risks of Oocyte Donation for Donors: a Systematic Literature Review"


Johanna's elevator pitch 
Oocyte donors are currently not adequately protected by European Union legislation. In my thesis, I provide a comprehensive overview of the existing research on the physical and non-physical risks of oocyte donation for donors. While the findings highlight the relevance of certain short-term physical risks, they also reveal a high degree of uncertainty about the long-term physical risks, as well as a profound psychosocial impact of the donation on oocyte donors. Thus, I conclude that the focus of oocyte donor protection measures should go beyond short-term physical risks and also consider long-term risks and psychosocial risks.

"Fetuin B in white adipose tissue associates with insulin resistance"


Evi's elevator pitch 
The fatty liver secretes proteins (hepatokines) that cause insulin resistance. Fetuin B has been discovered as one of the fatty liver-responsive hepatokines, and plays an unknown role in maintaining glucose homeostasis.  This study found that plasma fetuin B is associated with glucose intolerance after adjustment for insulin sensitivity, suggesting a role of fetuin B in the regulation of glucose effectiveness. There is evidence to suggest that fetuin B is secreted by the liver and taken up by white adipose tissue (WAT). WAT fetuin B is associated with insulin resistance, indicating fetuin B regulates glucose homeostasis via unknown effects, possibly on WAT or glucose effectiveness.
