Lyceum Ypenburg

At Ypenburg, Lyceum Ypenburg occupies a characteristic location at the entrance to this The Hague district. The programme covers four floors interconnected by large voids and staircases. The main plan of the building is simple, consisting of a ring of classrooms around a number of large assembly rooms. Daylight enters the areas within the ring through skylights and patios. Within its deceptively straightforward exterior, the building manages to create a many-faceted world of light, air, and space that does justice to the school's theme, 'stirring splendour'.
