NRB: Herstal campus

NRB publicly states that its data centres are located on distinct buildings on its Herstal campus in the Parc Industriel des Hauts Sarts, and on the Villers-le-Bouillet site. NRB’s official contact and headquarters pages identify the Herstal campus at Parc Industriel des Hauts Sarts, 2e Avenue 65, 4040 Herstal, Belgium.

Public NRB materials confirm that the Herstal location is one of the company’s core Belgian data center campuses. NRB’s official housing brochure describes the Herstal site as a data center built, owned and managed by NRB, located on the same site as NRB’s headquarters, while newer NRB material describes the Herstal campus as part of NRB’s Belgian and sovereign data center offering.
