Located on Nieuw Zuid, one of Antwerp’s most forward-looking urban developments, the project establishes a visible and welcoming presence within the city. More than a school, the building will serve as a cultural beacon, expressing the international ambition of the institution while contributing to the vibrant character of the neighbourhood.

The new campus will significantly expand the school's capacity and provide a diverse range of spaces dedicated to learning, rehearsal, physical development, and community engagement. Generous dance studios, educational facilities, and shared spaces are carefully integrated to foster both individual growth and collective creativity.
