University College Ghent, which forms part of the University of Ghent Association and has branches in Ghent, Melle and Aalst, has a master-plan which comprises a series of infrastructure interventions aimed at improving the efficiency, function and quality of the education, research and services at the college.
‘University College Ghent wants to excel in education, research, service provision and the pursuit of the arts. University College Ghent aims to promote a critical, creative and open society through the competence of its staff and graduates and the valorisation of its research.’ It is with this mission in mind that University College Ghent wishes to expand the Schoonmeersen campus. This campus, with its highly strategic location close to St. Pieter’s Station, the ring road and the new interchange, will become University College Ghent’s main campus.
The first brief for the campus in this Open Call is the building of a new sports hall or ‘events hall’ connected to the existing sports building.
The present B Building for theory lessons dates from the 1970s and requires an extensive facelift involving the renovation of the facades, a new lift and the redesign of the entrance hall and auditorium. A ‘student square’ with bicycle sheds will then be constructed. These interventions are necessary on both an energy-related and architectural level due to their visible position on the campus and in order to tie in with the new learning centre.
On the southern part of the campus a building for administration and education is planned for the Department of Social Work (Soag Building) containing classrooms, practical training rooms and offices. Since the building must house a full department with 2500 students, the total surface area is estimated at 8500 sq. m. Increasing the visibility of University College Ghent on Voskenslaan is one of the challenges of this brief.
