Sint-Lucas School of Architecture was founded in 1862 in Ghent and in 1887 in Brussels. It is the oldest free architecture institute in
Belgium. Since 1995 the department has been part of the School of Science & Arts (
Hogeschool voor Wetenschap en Kunst). The latter became a partner in the Association KU Leuven in 2002. In 2013, the department of architecture left the school, which had become the
LUCA School of Arts, to join the
Katholieke Universiteit te Leuven, creating the "KU Leuven, Faculty of Architecture". ==Facilities==
