Marc Koehler Architects and their team have won the competition for the extension and renovation of Campus Vesalius at Hogeschool Gent. The project is part of Open Call 19, organized by the Vlaams Bouwmeester in 2010 and developed with Delva Landscape Architects, Import Export Architecture, Daidalos, STBViaene and Less is More engineering. More images and complete press release after the break.
Due to a steady increase of students in the last years, the faculty of healthcare of Hogeschool Gent is in need for additional auditoriums and circulation spaces. The existing school building dates from 1974, and ironically “suffers from typical symptoms of a sick building”, such as lack of fresh air, daylight, outdoor spaces and social interaction. We proposed an integral ‘healing’ plan for the building and site that deals with all of these aspects.
