Construction update KC Muntendam
A place where children can learn, play and meet. That is the idea behind the new KC Muntendam, which is gradually taking shape.
The timber structure will remain visible in the classrooms, giving the spaces a warm, natural feel. The different classrooms are grouped into recognisable building volumes, giving the building a clear structure. At the heart of the centre, a spacious atrium will bring daylight deep into the building from above. This central space connects the different functions and creates an open, light-filled environment.
The façade will also have a distinctive character. Specially developed for this project, the Groningen brick slips are made by cutting bricks into thin slices. They give the building a unique appearance while referencing the region’s characteristic brickwork.
Two primary schools, childcare facilities and a sports hall will come together under one roof. By bringing these functions together, the centre will become a place where children and other users meet every day, with room for interaction, collaboration and development.
Commissioned by Gemeente Midden-Groningen, Hesco Bouw is constructing the new centre. Completion is scheduled for spring 2027.
