About this project

For college Hagelstein in Sint-Katelijne-Waver, evr-architecten designed an innovative hybrid school building with a concrete core and an insulation shell in timber-frame construction. With our prefab elements and circular wood joints, the Olen-based contractor Beneens managed to considerably speed up the construction process, without compromising on quality or comfort.
