Square de l'Aviation

The school's former site, relocated to the Rue des Vétérinaires/Veeartsenstraat, was acquired in 1892 by the municipality of Anderlecht, which drew up development plans for it from 1895.

[1] Prizes were planned for the most beautiful façades that would be erected within six years on land sold by the municipality in the district of the former Veterinary School.

Now called Le Triangle, the district is largely occupied by companies active in the clothing industry.

In the 1920s, the plots that had remained untouched were filled with buildings most often in the Beaux-Arts style tinged with Art Deco.

[1] From the outset, the square was embellished with a triangular parterre on the boulevard's side, which in 1924 welcomed the Monument to the Showmen who died for the Fatherland.
