Campus PXL - Hasselt

Description 

In Hasselt, we realised a new campus building for Hogeschool PXL in the DBM formula. The new building of 7,300 m² houses the arts and computer sciences courses and the PXL-MAD School of Arts has also been given a new location.

In the design, maximum account was taken of the requirements of the various courses. One of the eye-catchers in the building is the centrally located, double-height exhibition space. The tower volume contains the majority of the theory classrooms and a darkroom for photo and video recordings. The focus is on user experience, virtual and augmented reality. We also organised the relocation of the art school's installations to a temporary location and then to the new building. We will also be responsible for maintenance for the next 20 years.

 

Willemen Bouw was established on 30 April 2025 through the merger of Willemen Construct, Cosimco, Franki Construct and Tools.
