Or perhaps not <em>that<\/em> familiar, as the offices did undergo a drastic makeover. The workspaces are now lighter and open, providing plenty of opportunity to meet one another. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building S.B. used to be quite boring before the fire: an endless corridor \u2013 think: hospital corridor \u2013 with doors on either side and a minimum of daylight. The forced renovation was a good opportunity to get rid of that outdated look. Interior walls were replaced by glass walls and cupboards by benches, ceilings were raised, and pipes were neatly hidden away. This resulted in pleasant office spaces with ample daylight and plants and inviting places to sit, work and \u2013 a concept new to us as well \u2013 land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the <strong>Faculty of Arts (FLW)<\/strong> had already returned to its previous offices in Building S.D. in March, it was the turn of the <strong>Faculty of Business and Economics (FBE)<\/strong> at the beginning of October. The first three floors of Building S.B. have been in use again ever since. On 3 December, the building was officially inaugurated in the presence of our rector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"3473\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-6-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Meeting room building D<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"3472\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-5-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-5-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-5-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kitchen building D<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"3480\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-7-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-7-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-7-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-7-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-7-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-7-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Work spaces building D<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"3474\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-10-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-10-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-10-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/S.B-10-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Relaxing at building D<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Open workspaces<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone was happy with the brand-new office spaces, but they did take some getting used to: <strong>alongside the individual desks, quite a few open workspaces and flexible workstations were introduced. <\/strong>\u2018With the exception of the dean, the Dean\u2019s Office and the study programme counsellor, no one has their own desk any more,\u2019 says FBE Director Tinne Borremans. \u2018Everyone reserves their workstation on a daily basis.

Each of these rooms has a conferencing screen for hybrid meetings. In addition, there are open workspaces on each floor where visitors and colleagues from other faculties can work <strong>without a reservation<\/strong>. This may come in handy before or after a meeting, or for discussions between master students.

The most important modification was the <strong>insulation of the facades on the inside<\/strong>,\u2019 explains Lieven Willems, head of the Infrastructure Department. \u2018But we did consistently opt for <strong>sustainable materials<\/strong>, such as bamboo for the door frames and carpet tiles made largely from recycled materials,\u2019 project leader Steven Simons adds. Most of all, the new offices are an example of <strong>sustainable use of space<\/strong>. \u2018That\u2019s something our university will have to work towards in the years ahead anyway,\u2019 says Lieven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what about the unfinished floors of Building S.B? Lieven: \u2018Work will continue there as soon as the new roof has been installed. On the fourth floor, office spaces will be created again, which we\u2019ll probably be able to start using in 2026 or 2027.
