Delft University of Technology, Public technical university in Delft, Netherlands

Delft University of Technology is a public institution focused on engineering and applied sciences in the Netherlands. Its campus includes research buildings, laboratories, a library with a grass-covered roof, and several faculty structures spread across a large area.

The institution began in 1842 as a royal academy training civil servants for colonial administration. It later evolved into a full technical university with a focus on engineering research.

The university draws over 26,000 students from numerous countries, creating an international learning environment where 53 percent of faculty members come from abroad.

The site can be explored on foot or by bicycle, as paths between buildings are well marked. Many facilities open during working hours, though some areas require permission to enter.

A botanical garden on campus preserves plant collections for teaching and research. The library building features a walkable grass roof that slopes gently over the structure and serves as a public space.
