Secondary Education Campus Noordoostpolder, Emmeloord
The new secondary education campus in Emmeloord, designed for approximately 2,800 students, will be the central location where most secondary schools in the Noordoostpolder are brought together in close proximity. Each school on the campus will have its own clearly identifiable place, providing a safe and well-organized learning environment for its students. At the same time, there is ample opportunity for synergy where desired, with schools sharing facilities and amenities. The two compact campus buildings, accommodating seven schools, offer maximum flexibility for future developments in education. The buildings make optimal use of the site while leaving generous space for greenery, sports, and outdoor education. Integrated sustainability runs as a common thread throughout the design, from circularity and energy use to nature-inclusive design and health.

Each school will have a recognizable and secure home base, while shared facilities such as the central media library encourage collaboration and exchange. Circulation throughout the campus is clear and intuitive, creating a socially safe and easily navigable environment for students, teachers, and visitors alike. The new buildings are designed to be compact, modular, and flexible, enabling them to adapt easily to future developments in education and fluctuating student numbers. Large central staircases, atriums, auditoriums, and learning plazas form the social heart of the buildings, inviting interaction, informal learning, and extended stay.

The campus will feature a green, nature-inclusive landscape with ample space for outdoor education, sports, and recreation. Green zones contribute to climate adaptation, biodiversity, and the well-being of users. The new buildings will meet the standards of a healthy Frisse School, providing an excellent indoor climate. Energy demand is minimized through optimized building proportions, including building depth and the ratio of open to closed façades. Materials are selected with circularity in mind, including a timber structural frame, biobased insulation, and timber façades.
