Campus Ufo: bouwprojecten

At Campus Ufo along Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat, we are working hard to create a renewed environment. Discover the latest updates on construction and renovation plans here.

A new student centre and a lively student square (Studentenplein) are on the way. The Rectorate and its adjoining car park will undergo a thorough renovation.

In the Technicum, building T4 will receive a renewed interior and a new purpose.

Student centre

A brand-new student centre will be located at Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 51, right next to De Brug.

From the academic year 2025–2026, students can come here for study advice, support with internationalisation, student administration, social services, and student psychologists.

Technicum: T4

After the renovation of T1 and T2, it is now T4's turn. This impressive building with a beautiful machine hall between Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat and the Muinkschelde will become the home for art and architecture students.

The building will also be regularly opened to visitors, within walking distance of De Vooruit and De Krook.
