In 2010, Belgian architecture colleges became part of universities. Their entry into the academic world not only caused a paradigm shift in terms of content, but also led to the schools being brought together to form architecture faculties from an organisational point of view. In Liège, Lambert Lombard and Saint-Luc merged to form the architecture faculty of the University of Liège. It was housed in the former locations of the two schools in the centre of Liège (Botanique and the Fonck barracks), which are quite far apart.

In 2022, after 12 years of work on the new framework, the time will come to consider a location that can accommodate students and lecturers as well as researchers and administrators. The University of Liège decides to bring all the activities of the Faculty of Architecture together on the site of the Fonck barracks in the Outremeuse district. It shares the site with the École Supérieure des Arts Saint-Luc. The former military barracks were built at the beginning of the 19th century on the remains of a 14th-century monastery adjacent to an older church.
