"In order to be able to look over the car park from the ground floor, and to give the building the appearance of a pavilion in green surroundings, the school has been elevated by a half-story and placed on a basement, " the architecture firm noted. "Beside the car park, the height difference is bridged by an elongated, landscaped staircase, which also incorporates a ramp.

Confident? Ajax were all-but champions before the game and their fans celebrated with mock trophies throughout Ajax only missed out on a place in the Champions League final thanks to a stunning last-minute goal from Tottenham's Lucas Moura and Ten Hag may now have a reluctant, if lucrative, rebuilding job on his hands. Tadic and De Jong both went close early on at the end of typically fluent moves before Schone opened the scoring with a brilliant free-kick from 22 yards. The hosts responded when El Jebli got the wrong side of De Ligt and fired in at the near post. But Hakim Ziyech then danced into the area and put a goal on a plate for left-back Tagliafico to regain the lead, and when De Jong won a second-half penalty with a brilliant driving run, former Southampton man Tadic fired in his 37th goal of an unforgettable campaign. The best was yet to come - Tadic lashing in from a tight angle with a thumping late shot.
VISION Taking inspiration from the surrounding trees, Graafschap College wanted a new and innovative type of building envelope design for 5, 600m 2 of extensive sports facilities. A unique façade that would increase natural daylight and outside visibility, so as to enhance comfort and learning performance for students and staff alike. TRANSFORMATION To deliver a light and airy atmosphere troughout, this project brought together Kawneer's AA100 & RT 72 Reflex curtain walls and doors, alongside block windows with hidden wings. Combining functionality and style, the finished result has established a bright, open educational environment dedicated to concentration and collaboration. REALISATION With a limited height and transparent façade featuring a rust-brown organic tree design, Graafschap College is a unique building that fits seamlessly into its environment and welcomes in lots of natural light. The thermal façade is highly insulating, while the weather-resistant metal construction helps to reduce the internal heat load.
Last updated on 15 May 2019. From the section European Football Ajax are the first Dutch team to win 43 competitive games in a season Ajax capped a memorable season with their first league title since 2014 as a 4-1 final-day win at De Graafschap secured a domestic double. Erik ten Hag's side - who came so close to a place in the Champions League final - needed just a point to win their 34th title. First-half goals from Lasse Schone and Nicolas Tagliafico ensured that the title was added to their Dutch Cup win. Dusan Tadic then scored twice - goals in an 11th consecutive league game. Youssef el Jebli had briefly equalised for the hosts, whose season is not over yet - they go into the relegation play-offs to try and stay in the Eredivisie. Ajax were again outstanding for long periods in the final appearance for midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who agreed to sign for Barcelona for £65m in January, while captain Matthijs de Ligt is one of several other brilliant young stars who are also expected to leave this summer.
In our policy memorandum 'Onderwijs in een internationale context' ('Education in an international context'), the Graafschap College formulated three goals: By 2020, as part of their course, 10% of students will spend at least two weeks on an international exchange or internship abroad. By 2020, 30% of staff will have participated in an international exchange programme. International activities are an integral and integrated part of the curriculum, with a further option being that of 'internationalisation at home', this referring to all the international activities that a student can undertake at school. The VET Mobility Charter In 2015, it was for the first time possible for senior secondary vocational education ('mbo') schools to apply for a VET Mobility Charter (the Vocational Education and Training Mobility Charter). This Charter is a mark of quality for those schools who make internationalisation – in the broad sense of the term – part of the education they offer. We are proud to say that the Graafschap College has been awarded this Charter!

A second skin of perforated Corten steel cut into the shapes of oak trees is laid over the east, west and south facades of the building and helps deflect unwanted solar gain without preventing daylight from entering the building. cepezedinterieur handled the interior design, which also follows a contemporary aesthetic but with brighter colors and patterns that allude to sports and movement.

View Slideshow Delft-based architectural office cepezed recently completed a solar-powered branch for Graafschap College in Doetinchem that — unlike most school buildings in the Netherlands — eschews natural gas in favor of a power supply that's 100 percent electric. Built for the students of the Sports & Exercise and Safety & Craftsmanship departments, the new school building prioritizes a healthy indoor learning environment that maximizes access to natural daylight and views of the outdoors. In homage of the many oak trees that grow around the building, the architects partially wrapped the structure in tree-shaped weathered steel cladding that serves as a double skin for solar shading.
