To enhance the international importance of Brussels, Beliris invests in construction projects in various fields. On the table is the realisation of a new Learning and Innovation Center on the crossing of the Université Libre de Bruxelles and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. With the ambition to realise a sustainable landmark, consultants of different fields have been invited by Beliris.

In her consultancy, TRANSFORM developed the project ambitions that related to sustainable building. It did so in preparation of the architectural design contest for the Learning and Innovation Center and resulted in sections of the design brief. The developed ambitions tackled various themes and included 'integral accessibility', 'effective resource management' and 'long-term utility'. To be able to eventually evaluate the received design proposals, also concrete requirements and criteria were defined in collaboration with the team of investors, governments and future users.
