On this plot of land, called “Zonneweelde”, are located both the primary school of the MPI (Medical Teaching Institute) and a secondary school for special education. The MPI is located in a recent building in the centre of the grounds. For the secondary school, a school was built on the southern part of the site in three phases from 2002. This meant that all of the container classrooms could be eliminated and there is room on the northern section of the site to build a boarding school.
The new boarding school will have 129 beds. It replaces two obsolete boarding buildings elsewhere, but at the same time will also serve as a reception centre. A reception centre is a Flemish government institution that offers a home to children who have no other home on a temporary basis. The reception centre accommodates the children at weekends and during the holidays. In principle, the children in the boarding section only stay there from Monday to Friday, although half of these children are also entrusted to the care of the reception centre and consequently live there permanently.
The shared use of the beds by the boarding school and the reception centre is a sustainable policy option by the Flemish government. However, the government also wishes to offer these children maximum opportunity. Which is why the children who live there permanently must be able to have their own room where they can feel at home. It is also not desirable for children with an autistic disorder to have their room used by other people at the weekend and during the holidays.
On what was once a large site, there is not much open space left today. So in order to free up space for sport and playing, and out of consideration for sustainable and economic buildings, it would appear that a compact structure is required. Naturally fire safety also needs to be guaranteed for those children sleeping on the first floor.
