PTS Campus Boom

PTS Campus Boom is a vocational school in Boom with multiple buildings housing classrooms and specialized workshops for hands-on training. The facilities spread across several locations with renovated workshops for woodworking and welding.

The school opened in 1932 after four years of construction in the Beekbosschen neighborhood, designed by architect Camille Bal. It was built during a time when hands-on training became important for the region.

The buildings show Art Deco features and shape the look of a school built for hands-on technical training in the region. Visitors can see how classrooms and workshops were designed with historical character.

The campus spreads across multiple locations with different specialized workshops, so it helps to plan which buildings you need to visit. It is worth checking the exact addresses of specific facilities before your visit.

The campus maintains artificial nesting boxes for swallows on its grounds through a partnership with the nature organization Natuurpunt Rupelstreek that began in 2009. This shows how the school combines nature and education.
