The school is being built for individual, active learning, with an emphasis on curiosity, creativity and movement. The architecture is therefore expressive and dynamic, ensuring that the school provides the best possible framework for a wide variety of learning situations that support the teaching methodologies which underpin the daily life of the school.
The design of the school’s outdoor areas is closely linked to the interior functions. The outdoor areas play an active role for the school’s architecture and functionality, both internally and in the way in which the school interacts with its surroundings, and how it connects with the existing sports hall – Hammerum Hallen – with which it is being integrated. Play and movement are key to the school’s identity, and integrating the school with the existing sports hall will enhance the school’s functionality, while allowing users of the sports hall to also use parts of the school after school hours, thereby making a bigger contribution to local activities.
