The project involves the construction of two new shelters as a covered unloading area for trucks, to supply the assembly lines at the Volvo Car Ghent site on John Kennedylaan.
The most important preconditions were:
Shelter GC08 is conceived as a closed building, with fast-rolling gates in the façade and awning, in order to form an interlocking function between the existing factory and the assembly lines.
Shelter LC1 is an open shelter with a continuous ventilation cap in the ridge because of the presence of a high-pressure earth pipeline under the extension.
