Brief
ELC carried out electrical renovation works in several KU Leuven buildings, each time combining data cables, fire detection and electrical renovation.
The Zwarte Zusterhof Library is part of Leuven’s historic university fabric and was modernised while retaining its heritage character. In Mechanical Engineering, new lighting and technical infrastructure for an engineering environment were added.
Scope
Challenges and approach
Heritage
Zwarte Zusterhof is a historic complex.
Cable routes concealed in existing shafts and ceilings, without visible interventions in the heritage parts.
Academic year keeps running
Teaching and research continue as usual.
Noisy works during holidays, changeovers per wing.
Engineering environment
Mechanical engineering has labs and workshops with their own equipment.
Supplies per lab in consultation with the research groups.
Timeline
Survey per building
Existing installations and heritage constraints mapped.
Detection and data
Fire detection and data cables per building.
Electrical renovation
Boards, cabling and lighting renewed.
Handover
Inspection and documentation per building.
