T2 Campus in Genk

At the new T2-Campus in Genk, a motivated team offers technophile students – from schools to universities – power engineering training with Lucas-Nülle.
New and old forms of energy generation are found right here together. The T2-Campus is situated in the
Thor Park – a new, regional project on the site of the former Waterschei mine. An old winding tower serves as an impressive monument to bygone coal-mining times. Today however the steel structure overlooks an area that has transformed into a modern technology, energy and innovation hub. Here the T2-Campus is one of the places offering comprehensive education. In the topic of power engineering training, the planners alongside project developer Andre Jodogne and product innovator Tom Nijsen opted for Lucas-Nülle’s Smart Grid laboratory.

While the Thor Park as a whole is an expression of the innovative path being taken by a region undergoing structural change, the story at the heart of the T2-Campus is one of successful cooperation in education and training. “We have managed to achieve a new level of quality thanks to three institutions joining forces and combining what was previously six places of learning into a single center,” André Jodogne says. The result has seen the new campus developing into an attractive place of learning that reaches beyond the boundaries of the three institutions.
On peak days the new Campus is already visited by over 1,000 students and trainees – and that number is only set to increase.
