Dear customers, design and construction partners,

Needless to say, we are experiencing an extreme situation worldwide...

As any company, VK architects+engineers puts the health and safety of its workforce and its customers first. In the light of this pandemic, it is more important than ever that we all play our part in slowing the spread of this disease. Consequently, we too are following the government's guidelines conscientiously and on a daily basis.

VK architects+engineers is also making every effort to ensure that we can minimise disruption to our activities. But as you can well understand, we can't guarantee project deadlines or milestone agreements at the moment. With almost the entire VK workforce working from home, all physical meetings being cancelled and having a hard time to get an overview of the activities of our construction partners, organising the work - as for any of us - is no easy task at the moment. In addition to the measures known to everyone, we have at VK architects+engineers increased the resilience of the IT networks to cope with the additional demands of working remotely and the many conference calls now being scheduled.

Like everyone else, we hope that this emergency situation will be overcome as soon as possible and wish you and your loved ones all the best during this difficult time. Stay safe!

Get in touch with your VK contact if you have any questions or concerns. In case of an emergency, please contact us at: emergency@vkgroup.be.

The team Archipelago – VK architects+engineers – Tractebel wins the project of 5 new hospitals for the HELORA network

The HELORA network has the unique ambition to build five new hospitals, embodying the first integrated hospital network in Wallonia. Each hospital will form a link in the care network, in synergy with the other sites – the project will unite the different sites by promoting their complimentary nature and integrating the characteristics of each location. It was with this in mind that HELORA chose to entrust the realisation of these five hospitals, accommodating nearly 2,150 beds and covering almost 220,000 m², to a unique team of project authors.
