RISK ANALYSIS FOR APPLYING INTERIOR
INSULATION IN HISTORICAL BUILDINGS:

ROYAL INSTITUTE FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE (KIK-IRPA).
THE RENOVATION OF HISTORIC BUILDINGS OFTEN REQUIRES THE OUTER SHELL TO
BE INSULATED. HOWEVER, SUCH TASKS ARE NOT ALWAYS COMPATIBLE WITH THE
HISTORICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BUILDING. A STUDIES CARRIED OUT ON
INTERIOR INSULATION AT THE OLD VETERINARY SCHOOL HAVE BROUGHT THE RISKS
INHERENT TO SUCH WORKS TO LIGHT, AS WELL AS THEIR POTENTIAL IMPACT ON
THE PROTECTION OF THE BUILDING'S MONUMENTAL FAÇADES IN BRICK, EUVILLE
LIMESTONE AND BLUESTONE.
HISTORY OF THE VETERINARY
SCHOOL IN ANDERLECHT
In around 1761, the very first veterinary school was established in
Lyon by Claude Bourgelat, a veterinary surgeon who was searching for a remedy for the ruminant
infectious disease rinderpest,
which plagued France at the time
(Wikipedia, 2015). This initiative
was being repeated throughout the
whole of Europe by the late 18th
and early 19th century. Initially, the
first veterinary surgeons focused
primarily on (army) horses. A veterinary school was also established in the United Netherlands
in this period, in Utrecht (1821).
Several years later, when Belgium
seceded from the Netherlands, it
quickly became clear that the gap
which had been created had to be
filled. There was an acute need for
veterinary education, both to serve
the army and to improve the indigenous cattle and horse breeds.
Above all, the authorities' costs
for the mandatory slaughter and
monetary compensation of sick
cattle were much too high and
they therefore wished to focus on
healing the animals instead. Two
private initiatives were started as
early as 1832: a limited education
in veterinary medicine in Liège by
Pierre-Antoine Pétry; and the École
d'Économie Rurale et Vétérinaire,
initiated by André-Joseph Brogniez
in Binche (Bogaerts, 2015). Shortly
after, Brogniez relocated his school
to an old riding school in the centre of Brussels, where the Museum
for Fine Arts is now located. In
May 1836, this Brussels school
was taken over by the authorities
and reformed into the École de
Médecine Vétérinaire et d'Agriculture de l'état. The original school
moved to the territory belonging
to Kuregem, near a rural area and
the slaughterhouse in Anderlecht
yet still not too far from Brussels.
Brussels' urban development in
the first half of the 19th century
was indeed limited to the zone
within the second medieval city
wall. The current inner ringroad,
also known as the Small Ring,
follows the path of this wall.
Originally, the school was nestled along what is now the
Poincarélaan, on both sides of the
Lesser Senne river. Regular flooding of the Senne caused a great
