From school and childcare to Integral Child Center
The current upper school location of elementary school De Tjalk has become an Integral Child Center. A building where children spend much of the first twelve years of their lives learning, playing and exercising. A fine inspiring learning environment where children are challenged to move, cooperate and meet each other. In addition, the building must specifically provide space for the dalton education in the neighborhoods of Tjalk, this can be done by using the multi-purpose rooms where the five core values of dalton education are housed.
Safe, accessible and fitting into the environment
The new Integral Child Center is designed around a central space. In this space there is room to collaborate, chill out or organize performances. The flexible educational spaces around the heart of the building are linkable and arranged in such a way that they fit well with the Dalton education, as it is given in De Tjalk district. In addition, the spaces for the playgroup and after-school care are designed to be multifunctional for both education and care.
The entire building is enveloped in a special roof which allows the building to fit in with the surroundings but still have a recognizable and special function. Due to the shape of the whole, it does not really have a back and the building can be approached from all sides.
The green outdoor spaces around the center challenge children to exercise and these spaces are a valuable addition to the playgrounds in the neighborhood. Thus, not only the user of the building but also the neighborhood can benefit from the arrival of the new Integral Child Center.
The children's coats can be stored in the wall solutions next to the classrooms. The classrooms themselves can be connected in pairs, allowing for flexible use of the space. The classrooms are designed in a way that they can be used independently for an entire group and are both audio and visually separable by means of cabinets and sliding walls.
The building can be approached from all sides so it does not just have a front or back. The shape of the building leaves room for several outdoor spaces with a green character. These are complementary to the greenery in the surroundings, through the positive contributions they make to biodiversity. The various outdoor spaces can be further themed to suit the experiences of children of different ages.
