New construction Chemie S11 and construction of a square

Ghent University is planning to build a new research building on its De Sterre campus for the departments “WE06 – Chemistry” and “WE07 – Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry”. Both departments are already located on campus and will be located under one roof in the new project in order to optimally focus on efficient use of the necessary infrastructure. The new research building is located on the side of De Pintelaan, directly adjacent to the plot boundary and centrally located between buildings S8, S9, S10 and S30. S11 should form the face of the 'logistics cluster'. S11 is literally on the border between a lockable logistics zone that is not accessible to the public and a more transparent side accessible to researchers and students. The project contains the following program: - Offices and supporting rooms for more than 200 FTEs - Research laboratories and supporting rooms - Logistics zone (including loading and unloading zone, PMGE rooms, waste rooms, gas storage, climate chambers, etc.) - Bicycle shed, waste storage and fencing with sliding gate - Outdoor construction with cycle path, infiltration facility and helophyte filter The project does not contain any educational functions and is fully organized as a research building in which university employees (permanent academic staff, doctoral students, etc.) will conduct their research. This is an assignment with a very high technical complexity and considerable interaction between the various disciplines. The assignment includes the ground and sewerage works, structural work, finishing, HVAC installation, electrical installations, sanitary installations, installations for technical gases, fire detection, data cabling, PV installation, environmental construction and water purification installations. The project also includes a BEO field. The new building consists of 6 above-ground floors and 2 basement floors. There is a limited 2-storey extension with a flat roof. To d
