Noodopvang Delft (Manderspark)
The Manderspark site on the TU Delft campus has functioned as a COA reception location since September 2022, growing from an emergency provision for about 100 people into accommodation for roughly 210 adults and families. TU Delft has allowed the COA to remain on the plot for several years, and the municipality has presented Manderspark as a location it eventually expects to close once a larger long-term centre is built elsewhere in the city.

Cost
Dutch asylum reception is funded by central government through the COA. At an illustrative benchmark of about €184 per person per night for emergency reception (noodopvang), the 212 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €14m per year. This is an order-of-magnitude figure for context only, not a site-specific invoice — emergency reception typically runs around three times the cost of a regular centre.
