Campus Drie Eiken<\/h1><\/div>

The expansion of Campus Drie Eiken in Wilrijk, home to 10,000 students, researchers and staff, includes new infrastructure for the University of Antwerp. The project includes a student residential tower, a new restaurant and a sports hall. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The new infrastructure, according to POLO’s design, follows UAntwerpen’s continued expansion and the need for a vibrant heart on campus. XL FUND, a long-term collaboration between investor\/owner Xior Student Housing and property developer LIFE, developed the project on the principle of ground lease, with the developer also acting as long-term investor and manager. <\/p>\n

The new facilities were built on the existing parking lot 3, preserving the current green space.<\/p>\n

The building envelope was constructed with the patented C-fast precast system, developed by Cordeel. This system limits the use of beams because beam, column and slab together form one flat whole. <\/p>\n

Sister company Imtech was in charge of the electrical installations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The project included;<\/p>\n

    \n
  • the new construction of 226 student housing units spread over 2 volumes, a tower volume and a beam volume;<\/li>\n
  • the new construction of a small supporting supermarket, a number of small food bars and a bicycle repair shop, linked to a large new bicycle parking area, integrated into the bar volume:<\/li>\n
  • the new construction of sports infrastructure, consisting of a gym, strength hall and 2 sports fields;<\/li>\n
  • the new construction of the restaurant, integrated into the volume of the sports hall;<\/li>\n
  • construction of a new single-level outdoor parking lot under the sports hall volume;<\/li>\n
  • the reconstruction of the parking lot 2;<\/li>\n
  • the construction of a new 4,395-square-meter plaza with water feature and landscaping around the new building volumes, resulting in a new beating heart for the university campus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Sustainability was central to this climate-adaptive project. Geothermal energy and heat pumps were used to achieve fossil-free energy use, with maximum comfort for heating and cooling. In addition, much attention was paid to building intelligence and demand-controlled lighting. <\/p>\n

    C-concrete also previously worked with the Vaccinopolis research center on Campus Drie Eiken.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4763,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[],"portfolio_skills":[],"portfolio_tags":[],"class_list":["post-4761","avada_portfolio","type-avada_portfolio","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-concrete.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/4761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-concrete.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-concrete.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/avada_portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-concrete.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/c-concrete.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/4761\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5151,"href":"https:\/\/c-concrete.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/4761\/revisions\/5151"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-concrete.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c-concrete.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-concrete.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_category?post=4761"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_skills","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-concrete.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_skills?post=4761"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c-concrete.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_tags?post=4761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
