The buildings are shared with the Haute école Léonard de Vinci and are now located on either side of the rue d'Arlon, near the European Parliament. The Marie-Haps Faculty is also located on the Tilleuls site (former Œuvre du Calvaire hospital) located on the Chaussée de Wavre, which includes a large country house, a caretaker's house, a chapel and the former hospital transformed into classrooms.
In addition, it has a faculty administration on the Saint-Louis campus (rue de l'Ommegang) as well as an assistant office for the Dean (boulevard du Jardin botanique).[15]
Student folklore
Unlike the other faculties of the Saint-Louis University - Brussels grouped in a single Cercle Saint-Louis, the folkloric student association of Marie Haps is the Cercle Marie Haps (CMH). Since its creation in the 1960s, it has only brought together students from the translation and interpretation department.[16] Its members wear the calotte.
