Veste Wonen Contest: Name our three new complexes!

At the Promenade, between the campus supermarket Coop and the running track, three new residential complexes for students are being built. Are you creative and want to leave your mark on the future of our campus? This is your chance! Participate in our contest. Come up with a name for the three new residential complexes at the promenade and win a weekend getaway for two in the student city Groningen.

What you need to know about the new complexes at the Promenade
These beautiful new buildings will soon provide a home for 117 national and international students and consist of independent studios. Each studio has its own facilities such as a kitchen, shower, and toilet. Additionally, each floor has a communal kitchen/living room to encourage social interaction. Each floor forms its own living group, combining the advantages of a private studio with a social environment similar to a student house. The complexes are being built in a wooded area. The architecture complements the natural surroundings through the use of natural elements, a biophilic design. The residential complexes are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025. Can you come up with the perfect name for these three residential buildings?

How the contest works
Submit your full name, (student) email address, and one English name for the three new residential buildings via this form. Briefly explain why this name perfectly suits the new living environment. Each person may submit one name. The different buildings will be designated by the letters A, B, and C (for example The Green Boxes, The Green Box A, B and C). This is not a street name; the street will be called ‘De Hems’. You can submit a name until the end of 2024. Veste Wonen and the CBR will choose the winner.

The winner will see their submitted name in or on the new buildings and win an overnight stay at The Student Hotel in Groningen. Built in 2016 by contractor Plegt-Vos. We will contact the winning participant via the submitted email address in the first quarter 2025. The winner will be announced on the website and our Instagram channel.
