Campus de Nayer, St. Katelijne-Waver (B) 2009


For VenhoevenCS I worked on the design of this masterplan for a campus.

Campus de Nayer is an institute for technology situated in St. Katelijne-Waver. The office was invited for the tender to design a masterplan for the future development of the site. The campus is now characterised by a lot of buildings surrounded by asphalt. A clear structure is missing. We proposed to transform the site into a campus with a green heart. This heart also structures the campus. In multiple phases the campus buildings are about to define this central space. The first building we proposed is a laboratory for sustainable technology, combined with offices and a conference centre. This building functions as the entrybuilding. The conference centre is a big wintergarden as well. It contributes to the new, green image of the campus. Because of the tranparancy of the building technology will now be a visible part of the campus.
