The renovation site of the "Theatre Jean Vilar" visit

On the 7th and 12th of October 2022, the students of the Civil engineering master visited the renovation site of the "Theatre Jean Vilar".

This emblematic cultural centre of Louvain-la-Neuve needed a make-over. Indeed, the proportion and orientation of the great hall restricted the artists' creativity. It is a wide-ranging renovation.

They even cut through the slab of Louvain-la-Neuve to gain some height beneath the ceiling. They also use specific techniques like prestressed concrete, 3D lattice, façade conservation, acoustic optimisation, etc.

Thanks again to Artes, the contractor, for this unique opportunity for our students!
