Questions and answers new building MOTION Beweeg College and Van Doornenplantsoen Sports Hall
General
When will construction of phase 1 start, what work will be done and how long will it take?
Preparations will begin on Friday, July 4, 2025, with the installation of construction fencing. Then, from July 7 through August 29, 2025, the contractor will perform the following work:
- installing sheet piling and a retaining wall; these are structures in the ground to hold back water and/or soil
- piling work for the foundation
This work causes noise and vibration. By doing this partly before and during the summer vacations, we limit noise pollution for schools.

Questions and any complaints about construction can be submitted via the form on the project website new-build-motion-motioncollege.com.
What are the working hours on the construction site?
Standard working hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with a walk-out to 8:00 p.m. In addition, on Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The contractor will ensure that work is not started before 7:00 am.
How will the construction site be cordoned off and safety ensured?
The construction site will be surrounded by construction fencing. In addition, camera surveillance will be in place and the construction site will be completely closed off outside working hours.
Accessibility and road safety
What route will construction traffic use?
Construction traffic routing can be found through the municipality's project website and the contractor's website:
The contractor will temporarily adjust traffic signs, deploy traffic controllers if necessary, or temporarily close a portion of the road. Clear signs, traffic controllers, and separate lanes for construction traffic will create a safe traffic situation.
How will the safety of cyclists and pedestrians be taken into account?
In areas where construction traffic intersects with bicyclists or pedestrians, "protected zones" are established with clear signs. Markings, detours and supervision will also be used.
What nuisances can take place?
The placement of the sheet piling, retaining wall and installation of the piles may cause noise and vibration. The nuisance is kept to a minimum by using special techniques and construction machinery.
