DGNB Project Bargiekaai Ghent

The education building will feature state-of-the-art facilities, including two large lecture theatres, several seminar rooms and collaborative spaces designed to support modern, interactive learning environments. In addition, students will benefit from a 2,100-square-foot library and learning centre, along with a spacious foyer and various meeting rooms.

The student accommodation will accommodate 90 students across three floors, with shared kitchens and bathroom facilities. A concierge apartment featuring a terrace and green roof is also included. The campus is already an oasis of greenery within the Rabot neighbourhood. With the creation of a new green zone, the aim is to enhance connectivity, making the campus permeable to pedestrians, cyclists and other slow-moving traffic.

This project is being delivered in collaboration with 360 Architects and engineering firms Mouton (structural) and Istema (technical), among others.

There is a strong ambition to achieve the DGNB certificate for Sustainable Construction Sites.

Selected measures in the Bargiekaai Ghent project

  • Rainwater reuse for the constrcution site
    During the construction phase, rainwater tanks are installed early in the structural works. This allows rainwater or pumped groundwater to be stored in rainwater/septic tanks during the build. The water can then be reused for cleaning equipment and, for example, for laying screed floors and levelling layers by installing a pump and water connection.
  • Solar panels for site cabins
    Solar panels are installed on the site cabins during execution. These panels supply power to temporary offices, the kitchen, meeting rooms and canteens throughout the construction phase.
  • Site lighting
    LED lighting is used for all site illumination, including the site cabins. For both site and cabin lighting, time-controlled and/or motion sensor modules will be tested to automatically switch lights on and off.
  • Logistics
    A detailed logistics plan has been developed with clearly defined access routes to the project. The site includes clearly marked loading and unloading zones located near the tower crane. Transport operators receive precise instructions on which zone to report to. Freight traffic is scheduled at specific times, and deliveries follow a Just-In-Time approach.
  • On-site precast concrete
    Several precast concrete beams required for the project are manufactured on site. A dedicated area has been set up for this purpose.
  • Reed bed for water treatment
    A reed bed will be installed to treat wastewater during the building’s operational phase. The treated water will later be reused for toilet flushing.
