City Campus UAntwerpen
Antwerp

After a major fire, a historic wing of the City Campus of the University of Antwerp received a complete makeover. Group Jansen took charge of the total interior design, combining respect for heritage with contemporary comfort.

Challenge

Working in a protected monument and on an active university campus required precision, planning, and multidisciplinary craftsmanship. The challenge lay in preserving historical elements, integrating modern techniques, and minimizing disruption for students and staff. Thanks to a tight schedule and close collaboration with the client, Group Jansen was able to execute the renovation flawlessly, from demolition to finishing.

Result

Integrated approach with 6 entities

This project proves that Group Jansen is an integrated construction group. No less than 6 different entities contributed and worked seamlessly together. For instance, Jansen Building Projects installed the impressive walls of Jansen Wall Solutions. Our J’Clickd walls are the absolute eye-catchers in this renovated setting. Jansen Energy Solutions handled the electrical engineering challenges and lighting. UAntwerp also knocked on the red door of Jansen Decoration for the paintwork and soft flooring. The fixed furniture such as the kitchen, wall cabinets, lockers, … come straight from the workshop of Jansen Joinery. Finally, Jansen Technics HVAC-S rolled up their sleeves and ensures optimal heating and ventilation.

Pleasant Office Spaces with Abundant Daylight and Greenery

“Before the fire, the rooms were boring. The forced renovation was a great opportunity to get rid of that outdated look. Interior walls were replaced by glass walls, ceilings were raised, pipes were neatly hidden, cabinets were replaced by benches. This resulted in pleasant office spaces with abundant daylight, plants everywhere and inviting seating, work and landing areas.”
