ROC Mondriaan Laak II is new building designed by Liag Architekten and located in Den Haag, Netherland. The new building is situated on a narrow plot, perched between the busy railway lines at The Hague HS Station and the Waldorp Street. The position, close to the public transport node is an excellent strategic choice: the school campus that is formed here in conjunction with The Hague University of Applied Sciences, the student and entry level housing of the DUWO and the resulting social life, is directly connected to all forms of (public) transport and is situated in the middle of the city.
The building forms a powerful and (Mondriaan like) colourful completion of the square, the Leeghwaterplein, and seen from the train is acts as a showpiece for ROC Mondriaan. The building has a grid shaped concrete façade in which the characteristic colours of the ROC have been filled in. This forms a powerful unity with the windows. An arcade follows the pedestrian route from the HS Station to the dwellings and the Mega-stores. Large glass areas along the arcade provide a view into the school: transparency and a display window for vocational training are combined here with increased social safety.
