From the car park (back of the building), enter the building, turn right and walk all the way down the corridor to the workshop. It is also possible to enter the building from the other side (street side).

Public transport and parking

about s.v. WIM

founded in September 2017 by three students at Avans Hogeschool Breda, s.v. WIM (Mechanical Engineering for Industry and Society) connects over 300 students with a focus on industry and society. Despite corona challenges, the association organises plenty of activities such as lectures, company visits, study tours and get-togethers. KIVI sponsored their study trip to Berlin in 2023, which led to strong visibility among students. The subsequent WTB café created valuable interaction between KIVI members and students - a success we are now repeating.

Refreshments, drinks and chips are sponsored by KIVI Department of Mechanical Engineering.
