Make your work or study day even more effective with the WorkWalk
From now on, there are three permanent walking routes on the Utrecht Science Park, called ‘WorkWalk’.
The launch
Tuesday 24 September saw the official opening at the starting point in front of the SPAR. At 4pm, visitors gathered around the starting point. Gerard van Assem (Executive Board member of HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht), Jan Henk van der Velden ( managing director of the Utrecht Science Park Foundation) and Judith Werkman (district advisor Utrecht Oost) talked about the added value of this initiative for the Utrecht Science Park. The starting board was then festively revealed and a short walk followed to kick off the WorkWalk.

The WorkWalk
The WorkWalk an initiative of the HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht, in cooperation with the Utrecht Science Park Foundation, based on practice-based research by Fontys, which identified the benefits of walking meetings. This research shows that walking not only promotes physical and mental health, but also contributes to greater efficiency and productivity. Inspired by this success, the WorkWalk was brought to the Utrecht Science Park.
All routes start in front of the SPAR (Heidelberglaan 1B). Scan the QR codes and follow the route via Google Maps or follow the route arrows from the starting point.
Change your office space, meeting place or classroom for a green walking meeting. You can also, of course, walk one of the three beautiful routes for relaxation.
