Saint Ivo's College (founded 1483) was a college at the
Dutch Revolt.[1]
The medieval college was extensively rebuilt in 1775-76 to plans drafted by Jacques Antoine Hustin, only the frontage now remaining. The college ceased to function as such when the university was closed down in 1797.[1]
From 1830 to 1914 the building housed Leuven's commercial court and small claims court. It was badly damaged during the First World War, and extensively renovated as a result.[2] It then housed the Municipal Academy of Fine Arts.[2] An extension was added in 1937 at an angle to the original building.[2] The former college is now part of M – Museum Leuven and has been registered as built heritage since 2009.[1]
