Accompanied by a small brass band , a delegation of CIT staff transported the building name to the entrance of Nijenborgh 4 where CIT director Tjeerd Willem Hobma handed the name to Dick Veldhuis, Faculty Director. Directly after, University Board member Jan de Jeu unveiled the new name for the CIT’s building: the Smitsborg.
