Two small masses in the point of the triangular portion combine as a school. The shorter of the two contains a gymnasium most of which is on stilts. the longer houses nine classrooms in two layers reached from a corridor at mezzanine level. The two are linked by a raised playground, off which are the entrance and a semicircular playroom. The school was built in three stages, the last in 1992 by former OMA team members Kingma & Roorda.
