St Lievens College in Ghent grew out of a former monastery site around St Peter’s Church. The existing school complex houses a primary school and a nursery school.

The masterplan has a double ambition: on the one hand to centralise the administrative services in one recognisable transparent building volume, and on the other hand to create openness by creating a green axis connecting the various playgrounds.

The plan principle provides for a separate circulation shaft per two classrooms, so that the classrooms on both sides face the external façade and the traditional corridor is avoided. This creates a clear circulation and a solution for the concentrated flow of pupils at the bell.

Despite the expansion, the masterplan provides oxygen and overview in the dynamic context of a growing school.
