Bungehuis and Maagdenhuis occupations

The Bungehuis and Maagdenhuis occupations were part of a protest occupation movement by a group of students and staff-members at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) who first occupied the Bungehuis Building, and then the Maagdenhuis Building, the administrative center of UvA. The occupiers referred to themselves as The New University (for a democratic university). The Bungehuis occupation lasted 11 days, from February 13 to February 24, 2015, and the Maagdenhuis occupation began on the evening of February 25, 2015 and lasted until April 11.
