In 2021, the University of Liège initiated a public tender for the design, construction, financing and operation of their existing student rooms at Rue des Hômes in Sart-Tilman, as well as the development of an additional 400 rooms. LIFE, MOURY, QUARES and ETHIAS joined forces to submit a joint proposal. At the end of 2021, they submitted a strong dossier together, in collaboration with Studio Sart (UAU Collectivism Altiplan) and Lemaire (engineering firm). The team won the competition and in spring 2023 the existing buildings and the land for the construction of the new student residences were leased to the consortium, UKot Liège, for a period of 65 years.
BUILDING B13b: This existing 201X building contains 47 student rooms. Given the recent construction date of
this building, apart from some minor refurbishment works, it requires no further investment.
BUILDING B13x: comprises seven buildings constructed around Building B13b, forming an elliptical volume. The building includes 407 student accommodations, comprising a mix of classic student rooms with shared sanitary facilities, rooms with private shower and/or toilet, and studios. In addition, the complex includes several shared spaces, including a reading room, game room, gym, relaxation room with laundry and dryers, and a multipurpose room/student bar. Construction commenced in April 2024 and is scheduled for completion in late 2025.
