The University of Twente is proud of its extensive collection of art objects on campus, and the tower is the best-known of them all. As a landmark on the UT campus it is a center of year-round activity. In the wintertime, the pond is the location for short-track skating events and the end location for the Elfvijvertocht (the UT variation on the Elfstedentocht since 1987, but with skaters skating on eleven ponds instead of by eleven cities). During soccer tournaments Dutch and German students occupy the tower alternately to hang national flags on, and during rush week events students swim to it—in March.
