Together with Van Den Berg Architects, we are building a new campus in Bruges.

Surface: 17.500 m²
Budget: € 24.200.000

The school building has four floors and contains studios, classrooms, a refectory, sports hall and boarding house.

Adaptive building

From uncertainties about possible future growth and changes in the programme, the campus was conceived as an adaptive building, a building that can adapt according to demand and need.

Challenges

The VTI is the third largest school building in Flanders.
The technical school is furnished with fully equipped workshops for the technical departments of car mechanics, stage technology, electricity, mechanics, electromechanics and industrial sciences.

Bureau Bouwtechniek
