Corda Bar – rich atmosphere on Campus

The former Philips site in Hasselt is home to the Corda Campus, a leading technology and services campus in the Euregion.

From Hasselt, the campus provides a passionate business community for numerous innovative companies and start-ups. More than 80 companies with about 3000 employees have already settled here. An excellent opportunity for trendy new catering establishments such as the Corda Bar. Since its opening in 2014, the Corda Bar has offered the ideal meeting place for breakfast, lunch or a snack. Corda Bar has a hip interior and serves street food; from tacos to burgers and pastas. 

"The design, the cozy terrace and the long opening hours guarantee the appeal of this brasserie. The residents of the Corda Campus can meet here at any time of the day. But outsiders can also come and have a bite to eat and soak up the atmosphere of the campus," says Yves Marchal, general manager of Corda Campus.

In addition, the design of the Corda Bar has been deliberately chosen for good acoustics. They chose Troldtekt cement-bonded wood wool panels in natural grey with a fine structure. Troldtekt panels provide excellent acoustic absorption, thus contributing to a positive hospitality environment. Recent studies show that not only comfort, but also our taste experience is influenced by sound. Optimal sound absorption reduces negative noise and creates a calmer, more pleasant dining environment, allowing guests to enjoy their food and the atmosphere more. 

The Corda Bar have responded to this sensory experience by installing Troldtekt panels in various dimensions in their modern-industrial design. This gives the bar's sloping ceiling not only a hip and playful effect, but also improved acoustics, matching the bar's streetfood-chic look.
