In 1930, the editorial offices of Dagblad Vooruit moved into the original building. Behind it was the printing press "Het Licht", where the socialist newspaper was printed. Today, this art deco monument with a unique design has been repurposed as the home of the Upgrade Academy as well as Ghent company Nexxworks.
Visitors will enjoy the ultimate customer experience thanks to the interplay between authentically renovated spaces and future-proof technology. The entire interior design was conceived and executed by Upgrade Estate's creative team.
