The new construction of the Montessori Lyceum in Amsterdam’s Sluisbuurt consists of a school and a sports building, in which, in addition to education and sports, a bicycle shed, business premises and a power plant are combined. Both buildings have a concrete basement, prefab concrete columns, steel beam and stability structure and hollow core slabs as a supporting structure.
The structural challenge lies in the efficient stacking of various functions with different spans, loads and usage requirements. Large spans for the training hall and open teaching areas are combined with a clear support structure and smart stability solutions. The cantilevered building components require extra constructive attention and a far-reaching assembly plan from the contractor.
