This event will take place on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, starting at 1 p.m., a few weeks after the building is completed and the first students are welcomed. The MODUL R construction system is an initiative of the Architecture Unit of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation in collaboration with Wallonia-Brussels Education. The system was developed by a research and development team comprising engineering firms, university laboratories, and an industrial partner. Architecture and overall project coordination: Matador – KIS studio Structural engineer: Greisch Building services engineer: Détang Acoustics: Daidalos Peutz Signage: COAST University research: UCLouvain (Architecture and Climate + Structures and Technologies) Industrial partner: Stabilame MODUL R demonstrates that it is possible to design a fast and economical construction method that is reproducible and meets current energy and environmental criteria, while allowing real potential in terms of architectural quality to emerge.

On the agenda (with the participation of the Architecture Unit of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the architects from the design, research and development team, and the UWA facilitators team) Presentation of the MODUL R system Tips for replicability in other projects Q&A session Building tour Free event - Registration required
