Sint-Lucas School of Architecture is a Belgian school of architecture established in 1862 with campuses in Brussels and Ghent.

History

Sint-Lucas School Architecture was founded in 1862 in Ghent and in 1887 in Brussels. It is the oldest free architecture institute in Belgium. Since 1995 the department has been part of the School of Science & Arts. School of Architecture is a partner in the Association KU Leuven since 2002. Since 2013 it is the "KU Leuven Faculty of Architecture".

Facilities

Sint-Lucas School Architecture has two campuses: one in Brussels and one in Ghent. The renovation of the former building in the Brussels campus received the award for the redevelopment of a valuable old building.

In Ghent, the design studios are organized in the Dominican Abbey Kane. The Commission on Monuments and Sites nominated the restoration project of this Abbey (2002) for the memorial prize.
