( 21-10-2018 ) This summer Ghent University started the activities around the square between Ufo, Technicum and De Brug. The Faculty of Political and Social Sciences will be part of the Technicum, while student restaurant De Brug will be renewed and expanded. For several years Ghent University has been working on a real renewal movement in its buildings on the Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat site and adjacent streets. The unified library of the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy in the Rozier, the Architecture Library in the Plateau building and the Vandenhove pavilion are some examples of finished elements. The renovation of the Book Tower and renewal of the entrance hall of the Rectorate are ongoing projects. And since this summer the yards for the Technicum and student restaurant De Brug have also been added. The Technicum - from technical laboratories to the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences.
