B3 (Liège)

B3

B3 is a cultural and educational building located in the Outremeuse district of Liège, Belgium. It was inaugurated on 24 June 2023, replacing the former Chiroux library.

B3 is structured around three hubs: it houses the Province of Liège's Resource and Creativity Centre, a space dedicated to digital tools – the Exploratory of Possibilities – as well as a business incubator.

History

Building B3 was constructed on the site of the former Bavière Hospital.[1] Work began in 2020 and was completed in 2023.[2] The building was inaugurated on 24 June 2023. It forms part of a broader project to revitalise the Outremeuse district.[3]

Origin of the name

The B3 takes its name from the Bavière site where it is located, as well as from the three pillars on which it is built: discovering, creating and undertaking. The number 3 also refers to the “third place” — between home and work — that the B3 aims to be for its users.
