This agricultural school building is situated on the outskirts of Leuven (BE) overlooking the city from it’s slightly elevated position in the landscape. The building consists of a linear block of 5 floors, housing the class rooms and facilities complemented my an horizontal volume - the sportshal - attached to it.  The roof of the sportshal forms a plaza and playground providing the entrance to the school complex while forming a platform sticking out of the sloping landscape. A cut-out at the buildings entrance level opens a view upon the surrounding fields framing the cities skyline in distance.
