In 2013 the Foundation published a proposal for an integrated management structure for Campus Poelaert, with incorporation of all courthouses to be entrusted to a public company with a professional board of directors.

This company should, together with private partners, plan for the renovation of the Palace of Justice, in accordance with the policy principles put forward in 2012.
