𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐮𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐮𝐬

𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭!

At 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗚𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸, The Nucleus realised: a futureproof business and meeting hub of
approximately 𝟭𝟯,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗺², developed by POM Oost-Vlaanderen, Universiteit Gent, PMV and Sogent |
Stadsontwikkeling en vastgoedbeheer with a BREEAM Official ‘𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝’ 𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

From the very start, 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 was not treated as an add-on, but as a 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

For the partitions, Beddeleem maximised reuse through its 𝗥𝗘𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 (𝗕𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗺 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿).
As a result, 𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝟕𝟎% 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 consist of reclaimed components.

Installed in The Nucleus:
• 𝟭,𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗺² JB 2000 FULL REused partitions
• 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗺² JB 2000 FRAME
• 𝟵𝟬𝟬 𝗺² raised flooring from reclaimed materials

Many of these partitions previously served in other projects, including Haute École Francisco Ferrer 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲
in Brussels, where a former office building was transformed into a school.

After 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, the elements were carefully 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱 at our production site in
Nazareth-De Pinte, giving glass modules, insulation materials and floor tiles 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞:
• 𝟱𝟳% 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 when reusing wooden panels and insulation
• 𝟴𝟴% 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 when reusing glass partition modules
