“Het Pand” is one of the most prized and most-frequently rented locations the University of Ghent has to offer. It is perfectly suited for cultural events, an important congress, or special business meetings. The location is in the heart of the city Ghent on the banks of the river Leie, near the medieval port with the guildhalls as its remnants. The building used to be a Dominican Monastery, and is now housing the Congress Center of Ghent University, as well as several museum collections, exhibition rooms kept in the original state, and a top-restaurant with professional catering.
