Campus Gasthuisberg
Literally translated 'guest house hill' (gasthuis is also an unofficial Flemish word for hospital), its name has become synonymous with UZ Leuven. It is the biggest and most well known of all the campuses. It houses many facilities of the university among which research laboratories, auditoria of the faculty of medicine and faculty of pharmaceutical sciences, a manual procedures training center, a library and a student restaurant. Aside from the KU Leuven, the KHLeuven (Katholieke Hogeschool Leuven) also has teaching facilities on the gasthuisberg campus where nursing and computer sciences are taught.
Still expanding, this campus is known for being almost permanently under construction since the start of its construction in the early 1970s.
