The project

The campus is conceived as a series of separate pavilions in a green park, giving each function a clear place and ensuring that the school organisation remains logical and legible. The vertical school makes optimal use of the compact footprint and clearly organises the different learning levels per floor.

Sustainability is reflected in both the renovation of existing infrastructure and the choice of simple, robust materials. Green roofs, smart roof profiles and well-thought-out daylighting enhance energy efficiency and comfort.

The ease of maintenance stems from structural honesty and minimal finishing, which means that few interventions are necessary. By positioning the buildings separately, future maintenance or modifications can also be carried out smoothly and without disruption.

BIM

We modelled the architecture of the DOA building, a design by V+, and the D23 building, designed by MSA. The aspect model stability was modelled by Greisch, that of the techniques by MK engineering. We worked closely with Daidalos Peutz to integrate the acoustic properties of the elements into the model architecture.

The buildings were constructed in two separate sub-models.

The gross area of the DOA (Jules Verne) and D23 (Marie Curie) buildings was +/- 8100 m² and 7000 m², respectively.

9554 elements were measured automatically.

Integrated issue management was used and tested for the first time in this project.

Our BIM modellers were also responsible for coordination and integration between the various aspect models.

Ecole Jules Verne

Ecole Marie Curie

As executive architect, we help the designing architects with all construction technical and financial issues, so that they can fully focus on the design. We also monitor the implementation and ensure that the objectives and plan are always crystal clear for all partners, so that together we can realise our dreams.

Our mission

the development of implementation plans and principle details, tested against the expertise of our in-house specialists in areas such as waterproofing, energy performance, sustainability strategies, circularity and construction costs
the preparation of specifications, estimates and cost management throughout the entire process
coordinating the design team from the tender dossier to implementation
putting together packages for facades, roofs and walls based on all relevant parameters
advice on the fire safety of the designs
supervising the implementation to ensure that the design is realised correctly and in accordance with the planned quality frameworks
