HAARLEM COLLEGE INTERIOR

The new academic building for the VMBO Haarlem College along the Schipholweg is complete. The building’s basic interior is peaceful and ‘modern’ with predominantly neutral-toned floors and white walls and ceilings. The cores carry a color and/or print and the hallways are lined with wooden frames and locker niches. Permanent accommodations like the main reception desk, departmental service desks, teacher-posts and niches in the walls require extra attention and each establish their own individuality through theme-appropriate colors and prints. A fascinating sight along the Schipholweg is created by placing the study halls and the rooms’ special elements near the glass panes along the façade, as passers-by can also experience what is happening inside.
