A CASCADE OF STAIRS. A cut-out in the building offers a view onto the surrounding fields and the city in the distance. The agricultural college lies just outside the city centre of Leuven. The elongated volume with five floors was established parallel with the geometric fields on which the rear façade gives out. On the street side lies the playground, which also serves as the roof of the sports centre. Behind the concrete front façade, a parallel series of stairs connects the playground and the sports hall with the classrooms.
