The former Koloniale Hogeschool (Colonial College) of Antwerp is an Art Deco school building designed in 1921 by W. Van Kuyck and inaugurated by Albert I in 1923. Its brick walls make functional and decorative use of natural stone, with a square central tower and a portico of Doric columns. The bronze domes date from the rebuilding that followed the fire of 1929. The building stands in a garden and has been listed since 2011.
