HELHA

The transformation of the two historic wings of the Notre-Dame Hospital in Charleroi into educational spaces for UCLouvain and HELHa stands as an ambitious and visionary project. This is not merely a functional adaptation of the premises, but a true reinvention of space, where the art of modernity meets the heritage of the past. The classrooms, designed with a spirit of contemporary thinking, unfold within a subtle architecture that preserves the soul of the building while enhancing it. 

​This arrangement responds to a deep desire to harmonize the demands of a modern educational environment—one that champions flexibility, interaction, and sustainability—with a respect for a heritage of precious memory. The challenge is to combine the robustness of ancient materials with a drive for innovative, accessible, and lasting solutions. The intention is clear: to offer an environment conducive to intellectual flourishing, a place where the past is neither forgotten nor abandoned but reimagined to inspire future generations.
