For BuSO De Wissel, we are constructing a new school building with attention to the diverse range of studies offered to pupils with specific educational needs. The building must ensure that the various forms of education offered by De Wissel can retain their individuality. The different courses have separate facilities but still form one school.  

The management, support services and teachers’ room will have a central, easily accessible location, which nevertheless offers the necessary privacy to create a peaceful environment. A safe, low-stimulation, restful, structured, readable, user-friendly, flexible and end-user-appropriate architecture and environment are undeniably key in this.
