Eureka

A new urban primary school for 500 pupils will be built in the Wilgenstraat project area. The school will be built on the site of the current main building and is part of a spatial redevelopment initiative by AG VESPA in collaboration with Woonhaven, the City of Antwerp and AG Stedelijk Onderwijs. The layout plan provides for a green, car-free environment with easy access for pedestrians and cyclists, and strong integration with the surrounding public space.

The new school is in line with Stedelijk Onderwijs Antwerpen’s “Challenging Future Perspective 2050”. The learning environment will be flexible and sustainable, with space for movement, rest and differentiated learning. Each learning pathway will be tailored to the needs and talents of the pupil, with a focus on inclusion, resilience and social engagement. Maximum effort will be made to ensure the broad use of this new project.
