The integral child center (IKC) Buytenwegh project
In the Buytenwegh district a new sustainable school building will be built to house SO De Keerkring and SBO De Horizon. It concerns 2 schools for specialized education. New construction is necessary because the current school buildings are outdated and because this will enable us to continue to offer good education and facilities in the district and the city. The municipality has included this plan for new construction in the Integral Housing Plan for Education 2022-2025. This plan states which school buildings will be renovated or replaced.

What will be in the new IKC?
The new IKC consists of specialized education, child care, a gymnasium and a number of social/societal functions.
The new school building will house specialized education for students aged 4 - 12, namely special primary education and special education for very difficult-to-learn children. There will also be childcare and after-school programs. There will also be a sports hall, a multi-purpose room and space for social functions such as a neighborhood association.
Continued location Mendelssohnrode 2
It is not yet known what will happen to the site of SBO De Horizon at Mendelssohnrode 2, which will be decided at a later date.
Place for learning and meeting
With the new building we want to organize education well and strengthen cooperation in the neighborhood. It will be a place where children learn, play and meet, and where local residents can also make use of it.
