Beguinage and Old Prison: guided tour of a vibrant university site

During a guided tour of the Begijnhof site or in the Oude Gevangenis you will discover the rich, sometimes unknown and secluded history of these special university sites. It will be surprising how this past re-emerges in a new form and how it was shaped in modern architecture. A new future for the old prison, which provides space for law students and social scientists, a Refuge House that, next to the Rectorate and the Institute for Mobility, also houses a promotion hall where doctoral students can present their thesis. And a Begijnhof site that houses an international master's program that has "Redevelopment" as one of its research spearheads. And on the ground floor offers space for a city lab where residents, students, researchers, and policymakers think about public space and mobility.
