Although the original university buildings were in the city centre, now they are all based in Mekelpark, the university neighbourhood designed for that purpose.
Of particular note is TU Delft Library, which has a roof covered with grass for natural insulation.
There about 16,000 students at the university and a quarter of them are international.
第二位、代尔夫特理工大学
代尔夫特理工大学是荷兰创办最早、规模最大的理工大学。
代尔夫特理工大学创立的初衷是作为民用工程师皇家学院，部分培养荷兰东印度公司的备用公务员。

虽然原有的大学建筑位于市区，但是它们现在都建在了Mekelpark。这里距离市区不远，是专为学校建立的。
特别值得一提的是代尔夫特理工大学图书馆。代尔夫特理工大学图书馆的顶部有一层用于天然隔热的草皮。
