Agnetencollege is the combination of two schools: secondary and high school. Two worlds in two wings, each with their covered playground, special multifunctional spaces and classrooms. Two worlds that come together in a majestic central hall that defines the heart of the building.

With a strong identity in its shape, Agnetencollege blends with the other buildings in the campus thanks to refined materialization and detailing. The composition of blue Irish stone, for the base, and brickworks on the upper facades, together with stainless steel-colored aluminium details defines the feeling of school campus.

The layout is a combination of communal and individual spaces, where practical and administrative functions (hairdresser, offices, bike storage) are located at ground floor. A pergola connects and wraps all those functions together, connecting indoor and outdoor areas while all the educational activities take place in the upper levels. Around the central hall and the monumental stairs of the high school an open learning area is furnished with working desks for individual study or group workshops.

The interiors have a warm materialisation with oak panelling finishing, light Jura stone on the stairs, white walls with colour accents as way finders. The peacefulness and tranquillity are enhanced by the wide corridors, where cupboards and lockers are integrated in the walls.
