Discover The Poolhouse: The creative hub for audiovisual productions and events in Hasselt

There’s a new hotspot in Hasselt, and it’s called The Poolhouse. This innovative location on the Corda Campus offers state-of-the-art studios and a creative playground where digital and visual dreams come to life. Whether it’s TV productions, online shows, or events, The Poolhouse can do it all.

Endless possibilities, infinite versatility
The Poolhouse is part of Corda Studios and boasts two cutting-edge studios: The Shed, featuring a cyclorama greenkey and ready-made or custom-built sets, and The Pool, a spacious 306m² studio that doubles as both an event venue and a production space. Both areas are designed to spark creativity and offer countless opportunities for a wide range of projects.

“We want to create a place where companies and creative minds can collaborate,” says Frederik Knapen, one of the lead swimmers at The Poolhouse. “Here, you get not only the physical space but also the technical support and expertise to make your project a success.”

Everything under one roof
With full audiovisual support and the ability to use ready-to-go setups, The Poolhouse offers a complete package for every production or event. From concept to execution, The Poolhouse guides clients with in-house expertise. As an extension for partners, we turn creative ideas into impressive audiovisual productions.

“No more long trips to Brussels or Antwerp for top-notch studios,” says Jeroen Meermans, co-lead swimmer at The Poolhouse. “Hasselt and Corda Campus are now the ultimate hub for innovative formats, original content, and high-end events.”

A quartet of audiovisual masters
The Poolhouse brings together four leading figures from the industry in a unique collaboration: Frederik Knapen, Jeroen Meermans, Jesse Claes, and Ernest Bujok. Their combined expertise in content creation, technical support, and TV production makes The Poolhouse a standout player in the audiovisual world.

The power of connection at Corda Campus
The location at Corda Campus in Hasselt offers The Poolhouse unique advantages. As a leading tech campus, Corda Campus provides fertile ground for innovation and collaboration, making The Poolhouse a perfect addition to the existing infrastructure. “The Poolhouse fits perfectly within our vision of building a dynamic and innovative community,” says Raf Degens, Managing Director of Corda Campus. “They provide our companies with direct access to top-tier audiovisual facilities, significantly expanding creative possibilities.”

An important development within this synergy is the Corda Arena. The Corda Arena will serve as the ‘third studio’ of Corda Studios, providing the perfect complement to The Poolhouse. “With the Corda Arena, we can reach new heights in our productions and events, creating an even more powerful total solution together,” say the lead swimmers.

A vision for tomorrow
In addition to creativity and technical expertise, sustainability is a key focus at The Poolhouse. By offering everything in one location, from catering to equipment and technology, The Poolhouse minimizes unnecessary travel and reduces its ecological footprint. This aligns with the ambition to create both efficient and environmentally friendly productions.
