KdG Hogeschool Campus Zuid - Antwerp

Description 

Campus Zuid of the Karel de Grote Hogeschool is the new home for 5,500 students. In addition to a new building, a former factory building was also transformed into office space, classrooms, or practical training rooms. The campus also includes a media library, a bookstore, underground bicycle storage space for 1,000 bicycles, and a parking garage. A central courtyard allows light and air into the whole project. Sustainability is central and is translated in the flexible use of space, smart LED lighting, self-regulating awnings, green roofs, solar panels, and a night cooling system. The campus also has a unique catering and cafeteria concept that encourages culinary innovation and local entrepreneurship.

 

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