Atelier Kempe Thill

Atelier Kempe Thill won the European competition for the new faculty building of business economics at Hasselt University in Belgium. The faculty building was meant to have a size of approximately 12,000 square meters and was planned to be built on the new city campus of the university close to the medieval city center of Hasselt in Limburg, Belgium, though the project has now been cancelled. The new building plans featured a series of flexible lecture halls and office spaces organized around a big atrium that was to function as a social condenser for the 1,500 students and employees of the faculty. Moreover, the building would have hosted a 500-seat auditorium, and a pubic restaurant functioning as a hub for the entire city campus.
