Bibliothèque des Sciences, Brutalist library building in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.
The Bibliothèque des Sciences features raw concrete facades, distinctive balconies, and a prominent single-slope roof that defines its architectural profile.
Built between 1970 and 1975 by architect André Jacqmain, this structure marked the establishment of the new university campus in Louvain-la-Neuve.
The building transformed from a scientific library into the Musée L in 2017, becoming a central hub for university collections and exhibitions.
Located on Place des Sciences, the building contains multiple floors of exhibition spaces connected by a central circulation system.
The concrete structure retains visible formwork patterns on its surfaces, displaying the architectural principles of Belgian brutalism from the 1970s.
