Primary school in a single storey, built with timber construction
In the coming years, many primary schools will be improved and replaced due to both social and technical needs. A large number of these schools are single-storey buildings and will remain so in their new construction versions.
From the B-group’s vision — “Together. Building. Consciously.” — we are closely involved in projects with a social and community focus. We approach this with a conscious mindset, aiming not only for financially feasible buildings but also for biobased construction, with a particular emphasis on timber structures.
For a single-storey school, we have developed a design concept in timber.
Circular Timber Construction for Schools
Wood in schools contributes to improved student performance and creates a more pleasant working environment for teachers and staff. Additionally, timber construction can be prefabricated, allowing for fast assembly and adaptation to the changing needs of a school. Due to the characteristics of wood, it can be designed and engineered to be fully circular, making it easy to dismantle.

Timber Construction Adaptable to Educational Vision
In the Netherlands, many educational visions come with specific requirements regarding the use of spaces. In the attached concept, a vision is presented based on a central space surrounded by rooms where lessons can take place. These classrooms can then be interconnected. This results in a building with flexible layout options and the possibility for organizational divisions and adaptations over time.
