At HITS, blue isn’t just a color – it’s part of who we are. From our logo to our canteen dishes, the server room, and even the iconic table tennis table – blue is everywhere! 💙 We love to see the HITS building standing out from a deep blue summer sky. Perfect weather to take lunch outside again! ☀️🍽️

Welcome March! And with March we also welcome the toads, frogs & salamanders' season. Our amphibian friends are once again migrating to their breeding grounds in our HITS garden, a safe space especially for the tadpoles which you can see on this month's calendar page.
