Rommelaere Instituut, University medical institute in Ghent, Belgium
The three-story Rommelaere Institute features red brick facades with yellow stone and blue hardstone accents, creating geometric patterns across the structure.
Built between 1899 and 1905 by architect Louis Cloquet, the institute received funding from Arthur Renier to honor doctor Willem Rommelaere.
The institute housed medical facilities where Professor Van Ermengem discovered botulinum toxin and identified Clostridium botulinum bacteria in 1895.
Located at the intersection of Hospitaalstraat, Apotheekstraat, and Professor Jozef Kluyskensstraat, the institute contains multiple research laboratories and educational facilities.
The complex incorporates advanced systems for its era, including specialized ventilation, heating, water purification, and drainage throughout the buildings.
