Frits Philips lyceum-mavo

A lot of attention is paid to small-scale, the development of the students and good interaction between teacher and students. The design takes into account the wishes and points of attention of the students, their parents and the employees. By means of surveys, workshops and consultation hours, LIAG has mapped the wishes of all users and translated them into a new modern and transparent learning environment.

The building has a distinctive appearance with a three-dimensional facade that creates an ever-changing facade image as you drive past it. Each perspective offers a different surprising and fresh color scheme. The existing sports hall was renovated, equipped with a new canteen and fully integrated into the design of the new building.

It is a functional building with a large atrium, through which a lot of light enters and extends to the teaching and talent spaces. The voids on the second floor continue to the ground and each study area has a loft with skylight. Everywhere, acoustic measures have been integrated in the characteristic finish of ceilings and walls, including the wooden slats.

The lower classes are located upstairs because it is quiet there and the younger students can slowly discover the school from there. The entrance is also small, in such a way that you do not end up directly in the auditorium. You can go up via the auditorium, but also via the stairwell. On each floor there are four corners with study areas and classrooms. In this way the space is divided into smaller units.

Extra attention has been given to energy-efficient lighting and an indoor climate that maximally supports the development of the student.
