Spring 2013 marks the opening of Court of Justice in Hasselt, designed by teams of architects at J. MAYER H. Architects, a2o-architecten and Lens'ass architecten. Having finished all facade works in 2011, the interior is now under construction and due to be completed in early 2013.

The new courthouse is an open, transparent building with direct public access. In keeping with the building's logistical requirements and safety provisions, the structure is divided into three interconnected voluames: courtrooms, a university library and office tower with a 64-meters-high panorama restaurant, where windows afford a view over the city of Hasselt and its surroundings.
