Striking wooden facade of philosophy campus in Leuven gets a makeover

The wooden facade of the philosophy campus in Leuven will be restored, with an investment of €78,000 from Flanders. The building, dating back to the 16th century, has suffered from wear and tear, including dirt and cracks. Restoration will include double glazing and protective varnish. The university will also contribute to the funding, aiming to preserve this piece of heritage for future generations. Restoration work is set to begin in spring 2027.
