The renovation of AG Campus is an ambitious and sustainable project in the centre of Brussels.
It introduces light, air and space. Throughout the renovation, materials were chosen as sustainably
as possible and maximum effort was made to preserve and reuse materials from the existing
building. The roof of the new extension was implemented entirely as a green roof and additional
green spaces were added in the garden, adding in total more than 1500m2 of green spaces in
the heart of Brussels. The project AG Campus is a renovation of the ground level of an existing
building. The Campus is a meeting and learning place and includes classrooms, meeting rooms,
a big lounge area, two big auditoria and much more. To realize a supported and sustainable
project, an integral, transversal, and integrated approach was put forward from the beginning.
The main goal of the project was introducing light, space, a connection to nature and comfort
for the people who use the building. Before the renovation, the ground floor was a series of
separate, dark rooms. Any form of interaction was absent. The new Campus wants to be open
and communicative, to stimulate “living together” and “working together”, in an open mindful
way. To this end, the ground floor was redesigned completely.
The existing extension of the building was rethought in terms of flexibility, daylight, the
relationship with the existing inner and outer areas, solar gains, and spatiality. Two spacious
patios were implemented between the existing building and the extension. This intervention
not only provides plenty of daylight, but also creates views and organises an intimate, changing
relationship between inside and outside, nature and the seasons. The garden was renovated
as well, adding several big green spaces to boost biodiversity. In addition to this, the new roof
of the extension is a green roof, resulting in a total of an additional 1500m2 of green spaces
in the city centre. The project also tries to set the highest levels in terms of the environment,
with solar panels for renewable energy, buffering or re-using rainwater and a thorough re-use
of building materials. For advice on reuse and construction materials, we got assistance from
Rotor. Rotor is a cooperative design practice that investigates the organisation of the material
environment. We think it is crucial to highlight this kind of projects so that it can act as an
incentive for future projects.
