The Crown is centrally located on the VIVES campus, near the main building and next to the Xaverianen Campus. The new multi-purpose sports campus is also nearby. The site is perfectly accessible: you can get to it easily by car because of its location along the expressway connecting Bruges to the E403 and E40 motorways. The railway station is just five minutes by bike while riding into the city centre takes a mere 15 minutes.

Unique cooperation with VIVES

The cornerstone of this project is the long-term cooperation with the VIVES University of Applied Sciences, for whom ION built The Crown. In keeping with the Build to Suit principle, ION served as a one-stop shop, taking care of everything, from the design and application for planning permission to the construction of the development, which was completely tailored to the needs of the VIVES University of Applied Sciences.

We relied on advanced prefabrication techniques, allowing us to maintain a high pace even on bad weather days, and intensive cooperation between our project partners for this. We want to thank everyone who contributed to the successful outcome of this project.

The Crown took less than 500 days to build, from laying the foundation stone to the building’s commissioning, a considerable achievement for a project of this scope.
Volgens het principe van build to suit fungeerde ION als onestopshop, van het ontwerp en de vergunningsaanvraag tot de effectieve bouw van het project, helemaal op maat van Hogeschool VIVES.

An ambitious property built in under 500 days

We made the choice from the outset to create an ambitious project, with bold architectural choices - the building’s distinctive round shape repeatedly posed challenges for the entire team - and working to a tight schedule, requiring an extremely rigorous construction process. The Crown took less than 500 days to build, from laying the foundation stone to the building’s commissioning, a considerable achievement for a project of this scope.
