Since 1995 the department has been part of the School of Science & Arts. The School of Architecture is a partner in the Association KU Leuven since 2002. Since 2013 it is the "KU Leuven, Faculty of Architecture".

Facilities

KU Leuven, Faculty of Architecture has two campuses: one in Brussels and one in Ghent. The renovation of the former building in the Brussels campus received the award for the redevelopment of a valuable old building.

In Ghent, the design studios are organized in the Dominican Abbey Kane. The Commission on Monuments and Sites nominated the restoration project of this Abbey (2002) for the memorial prize.
