The municipal primary school in Huizingen currently consists of two buildings: one for the primary school and administration, and one for the nursery school. As both buildings are outdated and not very energy efficient, the GBS Huizingen construction project will provide a completely new, compact building that will house the nursery school and primary school together on the current site of the primary school.
The new construction project will consist of three connected sections: the nursery school, the primary school and an administrative section. The shared functions, such as a multipurpose hall, the gyms, the canteens and the cross-class activities, will also be located centrally. The aim is for GBS Huizingen to function as a primary school on one site with a clear entrance for the entire school.
Four cross-classrooms with an extension zone will be provided in the new building. These classrooms will be used for music education, technology, cooking lessons, etc. They can also be used after school hours, for example for after-school childcare and other after-school activities.
The school aims to have as much open space as possible, with compact construction being an added value. We have opted for a single site because of the school’s function as a primary school, but
the warm and friendly character of the school must be preserved as much as possible. The outdoor facilities also need to be completely renovated. The school wants a child-friendly playground, partly paved, and a large bicycle shed.
