Hustinx mansion As of 2011, the Maastricht Science College is housed in the Hustinx mansion. Coffee roaster J. Hustinx had this home built in 1882. It consists of multiple structures from various centuries. The oldest parts date from the sixteenth century, with cellars from the late medieval period. The buildings form a square around an inner courtyard. The façade at Kapoenstraat was lavishly ornamented around 1900. The risalit on the street side comes with a monumental carriage gate with beautifully decorated doors. At first the mansion mainly served as office. In the course of the twentieth century, the building was remodeled rigorously several times. In the 1920s it became a tax office. Forty years later, the provincial government moved in to use it as office space. In 1987, the building was remodeled to be used as teaching location, after which the Faculty of Arts and Culture moved in. Among other things, the mansion’s beautiful ‘mirror hall’ was restored and the façade was given a yellow color-wash. The most recent renovation for the Graduate School of Governance dates from 2008, whereby it was decided to hold onto the concept of ‘a home away from home’.
