Ter Groene Poorte is a leading food school in Bruges that invests in future gastronomes and food specialists. Hygiene, product knowledge and craftsmanship are the common thread in the education. 

The school wishes to further invest in excellent infrastructure where students can collaborate and grow into true experts with an open view on new technologies and social trends. 

We are therefore erecting a new building on the school’s current campus that will have 180 boarding rooms and 26 classrooms. These classrooms can also be used as study and relaxation areas for the boarders after class hours. Warehouses will also be provided.  

That is why we are constructing a new building on the school’s current campus, which will include 171 boarding rooms, 22 classrooms of different types, a warehouse for raw materials, and a number of administrative rooms. The building will house the Ter Groene Poorte bakery and pastry school, the Huyze Komvest boarding school, and the Ter Groene Poorte bakery school’s boarding school. Once the building is completed, all boarders will stay on the school campus. That is why we are designing the classrooms and circulation areas in such a way that they can also be used as study and relaxation areas by the boarders.

During the summer holidays, the boarding school can also be used for summer camps, and outside school hours, external education providers can use the classrooms.
