Noodopvang 's-Gravenhage (Regulusweg)
The COA reception centre on Regulusweg was the largest asylum location in The Hague, housing more than 600 asylum seekers. In October 2024 it emerged the site had to close by the end of 2025 because the state property agency (Rijksvastgoedbedrijf) wanted the building back for civil servants. Residents are to move to a new, renovated location on Saturnusstraat on the nearby Binckhorst, to be used for ten years, a transition that fuelled local debate over the city's distribution-law obligations.

Timeline
Oct 2024
Largest Hague AZC to close
Reported that the Regulusweg centre, sheltering 600+ asylum seekers, must close by end of 2025 as the state wants the building back for civil servants.
2025
Relocation to Saturnusstraat planned
Residents to move to a renovated building on Saturnusstraat on the Binckhorst, about 300 metres away, for a ten-year period.
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 546 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €37m 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.
