Krimpenerwaard College

Its free form lends the Krimpenerwaard College a graceful presence, and its open design connects invitingly with its environment, the entrance and forecourt giving onto the park and water. The school’s main entrance sits in the embrace of the building, and together with its surroundings, the building’s elevation and the intersection of the auditorium and multimedia centre provides a welcoming focal point.

The new building for the Krimpenerwaard College offers an inviting and exciting educational environment featuring various spaces where pupils can mingle and study together. The assembly hall is located to the side of the core, a transparent meeting place next to the square. Apart from normal recess use this makes the assembly hall perfect for separate functions such as shows, exhibitions and meetings. As an information and study area, the multimedia facility forms an atrium at the core of the school, offering space for various study modes. The shed roof structure ensures that daylight can reach the centre of the school. The safe havens and familiar teaching environment provide the pupils with a sense of security, safety and assurance.
