IKC Het Talent

More play space

IKC Het Talent consists of a compact ground floor with two floors above that overhang the building. This creates a generous amount of play space around the school. The overhangs contribute to the building's recognizability and also create sheltered play areas during inclement weather. The three floors are connected by the central staircase at the heart of the building. The ground floor houses the VVE (Pre-school and Early Childhood Education) rooms, the parent room, the playroom, the staff room, the caretaker's office, and several support spaces. The learning areas and staff rooms are located on the south side, while the classrooms on the upper floors are situated on the east, west, and north facades.

Robust appearance

IKC Het Talent will have a robust appearance, complementing the Notweg Garage and the former Lucas School. The solid surfaces of the facade will be constructed of brick, while the open surfaces will be vertically articulated with louvers and a glass infill. The vertical louvers will block direct sunlight while preserving natural daylight and views.

Healthy learning environment

IKC Het Talent will be a "Frisse School" (Fresh School) (Class B) that optimally stimulates the performance and health of students and staff. Large openable sections will be incorporated into the facade, providing direct contact with the outdoors while also allowing for maximum natural ventilation throughout the year. A smart, demand-driven ventilation system will also efficiently supply the classrooms with fresh air in a highly energy-efficient manner. The energy-efficient climate control system, low-maintenance materials, and sustainable technologies make the school building sustainable and future-proof.
