The introduction of a new educational system in Holland is problematic for many existing schools. Standard classrooms are disappearing, and the need for open space that can be organised in any number of ways is growing. To allocate as much space as possible for arrangement, the structure of the Marnix College comprises vertical discs that appear to be in the facade as if only by coincidence. Wherever possible, walls have been erected or shifted. The expansion of the Marnix College is the continuation of a project already realised.
