Built to be reused

How do you tackle a lack of space at a school without leaving before a construction period of months or even years? After a tender from the municipality of Kraainem, Symobo built a multipurpose space and no less than six classes in a beautiful design in just 2 months.

Een primeur in België. Symobo bouwde als eerste een volledig modulair studentenhuis op vraag van de universiteit van Leuven (KUL). Die door de grote toestroom van buitenlandse studenten op zoek ging naar extra plaats. Het hele project werd gerealiseerd op net geen 6 maanden tijd.

Your school building needs to be renewed, but you can't close your school for months while you (re) build, right? In this situation, the Blokbos municipal primary school will be in Beersel. Symobo came up with the solution to install a temporary modular school on the current playground.

Sibelco is a global material solutions company. The company buys, transforms and distributes specialized industrial minerals and is a leader in glass recycling. They were looking for a way to have an on-site control room that was adjacent to their existing warehouse. In consultation, we came to the decision to combine steel construction as modular construction. We used a steel frame that we place on top of our modules. This provided the opportunity for optimal use of the (limited) space.

De gemeente Attert kent de laatste jaren een stijgende populatie in jonge gezinnen. Hierdoor is de vraag naar een basisschool sterk gegroeid in de gemeenschap. Symobo bouwde daarom een volledige modulaire school tijdens de zomermaanden.

Symobo was chosen by the city of Genk to help solve the city's after-school care shortage. The project was fully realized in 7 months.

The Municipality of Kasterlee was looking for a semi-temporary solution to their childcare shortage. Symobo built this after-school care entirely from renovated units.

The schools in Brussels are overcrowded. The surrounding municipalities also notice this, including Jette. They see more and more children from Brussels walking around on the playground. To accommodate an additional influx of students, a budget was set aside for 6 modular classes. Symobo won the tender and was given the opportunity to help the school out of need.

It doesn't always have to be the big projects that should come into the spotlight. You can also contact Symobo for smaller projects. And that is exactly what Margaret primary school in Bastogne did.
