Site 3 on a busy day exploring Belgium, we headed for this abandoned University Complex in Belgium. When I first started work on finding this location, I thought it was one building, but it turned out to be a lot lot more than that. We ended up doing around 1/2 the actual site and what we saw was excellent!

The Technology Building was the first port of call, in this building it was apparent a lot of research and studies was completed on turbines and engines.

The next port of call for Scattergun and myself was to tackle the highest building in the complex, we went for the Boiler House Chimney, after wandering around for a while and a good bit of climbing and dead ends we found ourselves on the roof with a precarious climb about 30ft above ground on the handrail of a external stair climbing through window. Only for it to lead to another dead end.

It seems it is impossible without rope work to get to the top sadly.

The next building calling out to us was the building for Chemistry Analysis (Chimie Analytique)

Great shots!

I thought Group 4 and guard dogs roam that place? Seems like you spent plenty of time to run into a bunch of them.

We didn't see anyone there at all when I visited in March, indeed half the place was pretty much wide open! One of my Belgian friends went a month or so ago and ran into some official-looking people but he wasn't sure they were security. I too had heard stories about security here but I think it was all a bit outdated.

I need to go back and get into the boiler house and the newer-type building, those are the only two I've not seen.....although I lately heard one building had new alarms outside it, could be just rumour. There is a wind tunnel apparatus in one of the buildings on site but I've never seen it!
