Start of construction for Bouwcampus 2.0
We are proud to announce that the first sod has been turned for Bouwcampus 2.0 in Diepenbeek, which we are designing together with Broekbakema for Provincie Limburg and POM Limburg. The groundbreaking marks the start of construction of a 5,500 m² hub where education, government and entrepreneurs come together to meet, innovate and demonstrate.
Bouwcampus 2.0 will be the first timber building to apply the Earth, Wind & Fire principle. Passive cooling, natural ventilation and renewable energy are combined into one integrated climate system, and the building aims to be energy- and water-positive. It also combines reused concrete blocks with bio-based hempcrete, clay and timber, so the building itself acts as a material bank and carbon sink, and its visible technical systems turn it into a learning tool.
