EDUCATION AND ATELIER PRO Healthy and Pleasant Atelier PRO is committed to the educational learning environment for children and young adults. In our view, this environment should be a HEALTHY and PLEASANT one for pupils to reach their best achievements. This applies to all types of tuition in primary and secondary schools, and higher education. For a healthy and pleasant educational learning environment, we as architects pay attention to indoor climate, logistics, and the positioning of the various spaces inside the building, as well as the relationship to the town and surroundings. Pupils, teachers, and staff should feel at home in our designs, which is why creating a healthy and pleasant school building is essential. Buildings from atelier PRO offer possibilities for a variety of different educational visions. We believe that the interpretation of the educational vision lies with the teachers and the school board and not with the architects. It is our job to envision optimal building designs that can accommodate different perspectives in collaboration with the client and the educational institution. We commit ourselves to translating distinctive wishes into initial starting points. This takes both imagination and good communication skills during the design process, an approach that has led to numerous characteristic educational school buildings of which we present a selection here.

ABOUT US Atelier PRO was set up in 1976, and is an architectural firm in The Hague where animated professionals are actively engaged with architecture, urban development, interior design and building and costs management. Our home base is a special dune garden in the Archipelbuurt in The Hague. This location reflects who we are, as it represents how much we value the genius loci. From the very beginning, a contextual approach to architecture has been our motive, and it still is. Starting from these principles, atelier PRO creates surprising and pioneering architecture with a strong social engagement. This was the foundation of our name: PRO = Plan, Ruimte, Ontwikkeling (plan, space, development). For us, the quality of a residential environment forms the basis for people to be able to develop themselves. Therefore, it is no coincidence that a major part of our portfolio consists of social property. Our view on education and health care has been translated into various schools, multifunctional accommodations and health care institutions. Furthermore, cultural and public buildings such as theatres and cultural centres also form part of it. Our involvement to improve the social environment is also converted into a great interest in and affinity with renovation and re-use. Recognizing and using the unnoticed beauty of existing buildings, often yields surprising designs. We highly value the historic stratification of the built environment and we ask ourselves: what qualities can we maintain and use to create surplus value. We try to look into the future, for example by investigating any possible contribution of architecture and urban development to a sustainable residential environment. Therefore, ongoing development of knowledge and skills plays a major role for our office. For instance, what will the clean city of the future look like? With what sort of new materials can we design environmental friendly facades? For us, such issues are topical. Our curiosity and spirit of enterprise become manifest in items such as high sustainability scores, trend-setting strategies for educational buildings and successful office layouts for The New World of Work.

NEW SPACE(S) IN EDUCATIONAL LANDSCAPE Between classical and personalized learning Changes in education are always taking place. And that is not surprising since society is changing quickly and education follows along. The revolution in communication and data technology accelerates that process and the question is if school buildings in the future will even be needed. Young people gather information all day long on the iPad, smartphone or laptop and knowledge is available at any moment, regardless of time and place. In addition, there is a growing realization that the school is not the only place where one acquires knowledge. Lifelong Learning means that many people outside school need spaces to acquire knowledge and skills. Atelier PRO believes that a brand new kind of space is needed where knowledge and skills can best be exchanged. There are two poles in which the debate about educational space is unfolding. On the one extreme people think that the classroom and classical education are the building blocks of education. At the other extreme, it is thought that knowledge acquisition itself is a dynamic activity, of which personalized learning is a good example. The worst consequence here would be that classrooms and school buildings would no longer be required for learning. However, these are the extremes. In practice, most schools are balancing between both. In the eyes of atelier PRO these two extremes seem a contradiction, which ignores the main point at hand. A human being is a social creature and learning or absorbing knowledge is a social process. This is the basis of the educational landscape. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the fine interaction and not the extremes. Until now, nothing new. Most schools are looking for a solution within the standard structure of schools, like for example, academic schoolyards. Activities like fait primitif What is new is another way of thinking about buildings for education and the consistent choice for activities within a school as the starting point for the

Gerrit Rietveld College, Utrecht

spatial planning of the school. These activities are also social processes which partially take place via the new media, at certain spots where students meet! Aside from that, it’s not just about the knowledge itself but about the skill of acquiring it. Learning to learn is thereby fundamental. A hairdresser or car mechanic doesn’t learn their trade from behind a computer screen in the attic but does by actually working with hairstyling, with auto parts or in Socratic dialogue. We especially see the social processes and the diverse activities of students and teachers, and at times it seems like that these activities conflict. Yet it is the diversity of the school landscape where these activities belong that literally provide ‘space’. Our spatial planning and interiors are directly focussed on that. This marks the new generation of schools. Zoning activities within the education landscape: from dynamic to still Basically the spatial transition flows over from extremely dynamic activities to where silence is required. This transition is inherit to the layout of the spaces. The school landscape with academic schoolyards is already new but the spaces will be even much more specific. The activities of the students will continue to be accentuated, resulting in an increased differentiation in the sort and quality of the spaces and furniture in the school. The urban environment, the entrance to the school, the circulation areas (hallways an d staircases), the central hall, auditorium, and cafeteria all play important roles. They are primarily the social zones where students exchange the latest news and information. The deeper one goes inside the building, the more quiet there is and concentration dominates. Large schools are nowadays divided into special domains for about 200 students. In this environment the students are hereby stimulated to connect among themselves because they are in the same development phase placed together into one domain. Students and teachers know one another. Within these departments are student squares, study centers or libraries where students can work together or individually on projects. Sometimes these spaces are informal and could be a bit noisy. Other places are quieter. The classroom is the space where instruction is given or where students work alone. Here it is the most peaceful. These spaces can also be specialized subject rooms. As said before, a consequence of activity zoning in the school landscape leads to a differentiation in the spaces and furniture in the school. The qualities of these spaces and the building physics are important here. Good acoustics have a crucial influence on learning performance. The classical type of school building is going to evolve into an academic landscape that is conducive to making possible Lifelong Learning and responds to the activities needed for acquiring knowledge and skills.

CLEAN AIR SCHOOLS A study of atelier PRO in collaboration with the city Antwerpen, TNO Delft, TU Delft, The Why Factory, Ducth Green Building Council and Syntens Innovatie Centrum In highly urbanised areas, there still exists a demand for good, new schools. These schools are often planned on the only available sites in cities close to ring roads. Concerning air quality, these are the worst places. With the project Clean Air Schools, we want to underline the urgency of the issue and provide spatial solutions. As part of an integrated design team, we are evaluating the possibilities of using architecture to improve internal as well as external air quality. With that, we are researching the possible effects of spatial interventions on the quality of the outside air. Case Study A suitable site was found for Clean Air Schools in collaboration with the City of Antwerp. In order to conduct relevant design research, it was necessary to map the microclimate, concentrations of different air pollutants and air currents on the site. With support from the City of Antwerp, we were able to obtain relevant data from existing measurements. We focused on the problems of particulate matter and NO2. In discussion with the City of Antwerp, it was decided to use a location on the street of Desguinlei for the case study. Located next to a ring road in an inner city area, it’s a sensitive zone in terms of air quality according to EU guidelines. The case study was developed during a ‘pressure cooker’ workshop. With a site-specific design, the design team (Alex Letteboer, Bas Woldman, Thijs Klinkhamer, Sjoerd Hoogewerf and Berit Piepgras) used a purpose-developed clean air toolbox to generate concepts and translate them into the final design. These tools are spatial interventions that can be utilised to help improve air quality on the exterior (and interior) of a building. During different sessions throughout the design process, the findings and design proposals were evaluated with the City of Antwerp, The Why Factory, TU Delft, Dutch Green Building Council, Imago Bouwers, and TNO. Permeable The final design is a building composed of several ‘shells’. Outside air is purified by electrostatic filters and drawn into the innermost part of the school: the classrooms. Through overpressure, this clean air can be further used elsewhere in the building: the corridors and the covered semi-public and public spaces in and around the school. The outer shell in this system is the facade facing the

ring road. This shell forms a barrier to the highway to direct the polluted air above and over the rest of Antwerp. Thanks to the staggered design of the outer façade, this creates turbulence so the air can be further mixed with cleaner air from above, thereby reducing the concentration of particulate matter. The building as a filter Electrostatic filters therefore supply clean air to the classrooms. This air is drawn into the playgrounds, semi-public spaces that are covered with glass. From here, the clean air flows outward to create better air quality in the public space near the main entrance. The playground is sheltered to create a street canyon effect with clean air. We assume that the form of the building will somewhat prevent the purified air from combining too quickly with the polluted outside air. The aim is to test this concept in a wind tunnel to see whether it really works. In this way, the design provides the possibility for classroom windows to be opened onto the covered semi-public space around the school without letting in particulate matter or soot. Here, opportunities exist for the ‘Frisse Scholen’ program to be combined with passive building. Alongside the abovementioned measures, the entire concept works towards creating an energy-neutral and pleasant school building. Additional measures include the application of an algae wall as shading and a bioreactor, a prefabricated timber structure to keep the construction site clean and ensure a comfortable internal climate, and a ‘gaatjesplafond’- a specially perforated, suspended ceiling with hidden fans - for better internal ventilation. Offgassing from building materials and furniture will also be reduced. Continuation After discussing the draft extensively with Ulf Hackauf from The Why Factory and Annemie Tormans and Jan Bel from the City of Antwerp, further good ideas arose. The design was presented during the JOQUIN conference in September 2013 to an audience of clean air experts: their reactions were very positive. The general conclusion is that the prediction of airflow is very difficult. Therefore in order to achieve good results, we will need to conduct further research in wind tunnels and eventually build a prototype.

Gerrit Rietveld College Utrecht lies along an access road and was designed as a building block with a Clean Air courtyard for students and teachers.

CARMEL COLLEGE SALLAND RAALTE focus on the pupils

Atelier PRO has designed a completely new learning environment, encompassing both the architecture and interiors, for the senior general (HAVO) and pre-university (VWO) students at Carmel College in Raalte. The landscape design was made in collaboration with Oase Stedenbouw en Landschap urban planning consulting agency. The challenge The aim was to create a school that would provide over 1500 students with an intimate, comfortable atmosphere â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a school where students themselves are top priority. To do so, a special focus has been placed on small-scale design aspects. The result is a building with comfortable and engaging learning environments, where interior and exterior merge seamlessly with one another.

The multipurpose areas are flexible in use. The area layout has been determined by its use. It can be used as a study or as a group facility.

The sections next to the windows are of light masonry. This creates a play of light and dark stripes, like the keys of a piano.

LISEO BONERIANO, BONAIRE an elegant new ensemble

The Liseo Boneriano is a highschool on the Caribbean island of Bonaire. Part of the school is now situated in a building on Kaya Amsterdam in Bonaire. The number of students has increased to such an extent that lack of sufficient educational space became a serious issue. The team of atelier PRO architects and Jacobs Architects created a design to extend the schoolbuilding in such a way that both junior and senior pupils have room to attend class at this location. This redevelopment will appear as one elegant new ensemble with great attention to the outdoor space. The outdoor space will feature as the public domain, enabling students and teachers to meet in a relaxed manner. These new functional education facilities offer Bonaire an important and attractive educational setting that focuses on interaction.

METIS MONTESSORI LYCEUM AMSTERDAM renovating and remodeling a Montessori school

Renovation old school 2011-2013 Atelier PRO was proud to complete the renovations of the Metis Montessori Lyceum in 2013. One of four Montessori schools in Amsterdam. Full of character, the former Hoogere Burgerschool (HBS) in Amsterdam Oost looks forward to a bright new future ahead. Located on the edge of Oosterpark, the robust building from 1904 appears brand new again from the inside, and majestic and stylish from the outside. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place full of memories, where students will prepare for their upcoming journeys ahead. The solid building is constructed in the form of a square with a large plane tree in the centre. Completely surrounded by green, the school forms part of the future urban plan Verdubbeling Oosterpark.

New school 2014-2016 Atelier PRO was commissioned by the Montessori School Community in Amsterdam to design the extension of Metis Montessori Lyceum. The existing school building is located at the edge of the Oosterpark in Amsterdam and is constructed in the form of a square with a large plane tree in the centre. The local council is currently working on extensive renovations of the park entitled Doubling Oosterpark whereby in the future, the former HBS will be completely surrounded by greenery. As this concerns a valuable historic building, the Bureau of Monuments and Archeology (BMA) is engaged in the project.

IJBURG COLLEGE 2 AMSTERDAM personalized learning Atelier PRO’s design for IJburg College 2 in Amsterdam was selected as part of a European tender. IJburg College 2 is a new secondary school that will accommodate approximately 900 students at VMBO-T and HAVO levels. The aim is to realise a ‘High Tech Green’ school that fits well with this site. IJburg College’s main school is located on IJburg, in Amsterdam. For its extension, a branch of the school will be built on neighbouring Zeeburgereiland. The school’s site is surrounded by greenery and water, typical for Zeeburgereiland. Atelier PRO’s design comprises a compact building that is adapted closely to the urban design framework. The main concept of the design was developed from a bottom-up approach whereby students, teachers and parents were asked to contribute ideas about the school. This was combined with the school’s vision that the shared floors for practical subjects be placed centrally between two departments to create a meeting point.

The system of stairs ensures that different parts of the school are connected and users can meet each other

The Ezinge education park is located in Meppel extending from the Ezinge residential neighbourhood, between the railway and cluster of sports fields. The elongated, bronze-tinted buildings accommodate five secondary schools and a sports complex. A new street, Dahliastraat, separates the school from the residences, and also enables the neighbourhood to end with a new row of dwellings. Oriented perpendicular to the railway, the relatively narrow bands of buildings span between Ambachtsweg and Ezingerweg. This horizontal division, which also varies subtly in height, splits the building mass visually into smaller volumes. This connects the buildings better with the smaller scale of the adjacent residential neighbourhood. The integrated complex features a multi-storey building called the Hart van Ezinge, which serves as a landmark for the education park.

Just outside the centre of Doetinchem, between the Energieweg and an adjacent residential district, the Graafschap College is situated with its more than 700 pupils. This area forms the transitional zone between the small-scale residential district and the through-road. Together with the adjacent VMBO (preparatory secondary vocational education) Metzo College, the Graafschap College makes a scenic connection between these two spheres. As a part of this, the green covered slopes merge into the grass roof of the Graafschap College. The various school functions have been placed under this grass roof.

THE BRITISH SCHOOL OF AMSTERDAM a former prison transforming into The British School of Amsterdam Atelier PRO won the commission to create a new home for The British School of Amsterdam, together with Hoogevest architecten and Buro Sant en Co. The British School has grown to occupy three different locations in Amsterdam. But it has always had the vision of bringing together all pupils in a single location - ideally one that combines character and history with ample outdoor play space. To make that aspiration a reality, the school has acquired the Havenstraat 6, one of Amsterdamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former prisons. This building was designed and built between 1888 and 1891 to the specifications of W.C. Metzelaar, government architect for prisons. The British School of Amsterdam founded in 1978, offers a British international education to 900 children aged from three to 18. Located in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, the school is made up of four sections: Early Years (ages 3 to 5), Infant School (5 to 7), Junior School (7 to 11) and Senior School (11 to 18).

Atelier PROâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design of the Edith Stein College offers both a familiar and dynamic learning environment for students. The stately and compact high school building is being built at the end of the Louis Couperusplein in the inner city of The Hague. The site will accommodate space for sport, games, gardening, green areas, and outdoor education. Initial research revealed that situating the sports hall underground would result in the most compact construction volume. This enables the sports hall to be completely integrated with the new building and simultaneously frees up more ground space for outdoor activities. The roof of the sports hall then becomes a podium to stack the different school departments above. On each floor, these departments are connected with the most prominent space and new heart of the school: the assembly hall.

The design assignment for the Gerrit Rietveld College consists of the new build of a secondary school with sporting facilities for about 1200 pupils, and for a smaller part of social and commercial facilities for the neighbourhood. The new build is situated in the leafy district of Tuindorp, at the eastern side of Utrecht. The plot is bordered by a public greenbelt, a through-road – the Eykmanlaan with a new parallel road – a slow traffic route, a newly to be developed residential district, and to the north at some distance, a railway. The basic shape of the design is a ‘continuous wheel’, with a courtyard square in the centre. This wheel is the ideal form for flexibility in the school, in which functions can ‘move on’. In addition, this shape makes it possible to realise a building on a limited plot that nevertheless provides much daylight and fresh air, and besides that leaves enough room for efficient and useful outdoor spaces for the students.
