Zwijnaarde
The Flemish Institute for Biotechnology built a state-of-the-art bio-incubator on the technology campus in Zwijnaarde. Group Jansen was responsible for the complete interior finishing of this innovative building.
Challenge
The challenge was to finish laboratories, offices and meeting rooms with sustainable and modular solutions. Thanks to prefab elements, climate ceilings and smart wall systems, the building was delivered with BREEAM certification.

Result
The VIB Bio-Incubator offers ultra-modern laboratory infrastructure for approximately 20 biotech start-ups and is also the new home of the VIB headquarters. The building is designed as a vertical screen with two parts: a dynamic and (inter)active side along the E40 and a creative side overlooking the campus. Together with BREEAM certification and CO
After our partners Cordeel and Equans completed the structural work and techniques, the makers and builders from Group Jansen with great enthusiasm on this project. Our modular, integrated and sustainable products such as prefab reveals, climate ceilings and partition walls made it possible to finish only 15,000 m2 in 2 years to finish.
With the New VIB Bio-Incubator, We Continue to Play our Pioneering Role
“A vibrant biotech sector and the need for infrastructure go hand in hand. VIB has taken its responsibility to provide an answer to this, ever since the construction of our first Bio-Incubator in the late 1990s. Today, Flanders has a high-performance ecosystem of bio-incubators and accelerators. VIB will continue to invest in this and we will continue to play our pioneering role. The new VIB Bio-incubator illustrates this. A thank you to our partners for managing this project well.”
