A new scientific research centre, the Pessinus Research Centre, was opened in the old village schoolhouse which was renovated by Ghent University with funding from the Belgian National Lottery. Next to a new depot, a number of workshops, studies and offices have been fitted out for the archaeological teams. In addition, an educational garden has been laid out with plants and herbs from Roman times.
