Braecklant

We are going to redevelop the Braecklant community center into a multifunctional accommodation. The new MFA Braecklant will house the neighborhood center, primary care (including the general practitioner's practice), a pharmacy dispensing point (medicine cabinet), and a youth center.

Status of demolition and new construction

We have signed a letter of intent with the general practitioner and are currently working on the further details of the agreements. The tendering procedure for the architect has been completed. The design of the new building focuses on sustainability, functionality, and a healthy indoor climate. 

We aim to demolish the building before the summer of 2026. We are currently preparing for this so that we can apply for a permit in good time. 

We have now had a flora and fauna survey carried out. During that survey, a territory and a mating site for the common pipistrelle bat were found in the area. We are therefore taking measures. Among other things, we are installing bat boxes in the immediate vicinity. 

We expect to be able to complete the new building in 2028. We are involving future users and immediate neighbors in the plans and their implementation, and we are keeping them informed of developments regarding demolition and new construction. 

Braecklant is now closed

This was necessary due to the technical condition of the building. The organizations that were based in Braecklant have found temporary accommodation at other locations, such as De Boerderij and De Landing. The Chill Out youth center is temporarily located in the old Vestzaktheater at Kerkstraat 2.
