History.
For about 50 years the "Campus Blairon" was known as the training centre nr. 3 "Majoor Blairon" of the Belgian army. New recruits started their training at the Blairon barracks. In 1994 the last recruits started their training and in 1999 the military site was closed. A new destination for the building was sought for and the new project started in 2000.
