In the late 1990s, the institution joined the growing Fontis University. [11] Several renovations and extensions helped the campus buildings ("which were originally built by the congregation of nuns in 1965") [12] become "modern inside and out." [13] Today, the Fontys Teacher Training Institute (FHKE), Technology and Logistics Institute (FHTenL), and the Fontis International School of Business (FIBS) are on campus. [12]

Ald Weishoes (translated from n. - “Old Orphanage”), Romerhoes (translated from n. - “Romer's House”), Stadhuis (translated from n. - “Town Hall”) and St. Martinuskerk (translated from n. - "St. Martin's Church") are just some of the many historic buildings in the center of Venlo. [14] From 2013 to 2015, together with The Hague , Venlo was chosen as the best city center in the Netherlands. [fifteen]

The close proximity to the River Meuse (one of the three largest rivers in the Netherlands) and Germany make Venlo one of the most important logistics centers in Europe.
