Bolidt & IJburg College

IJburg College 2 in Amsterdam does not aim to be a traditional school, but a ‘learning community’ where students learn about themselves and the world around them, as much as possible. The school has translated this educational concept into the actual building. The floor plays a vital role therein. In the large open spaces, the colours of the floors show the way to the ‘classrooms’, ‘corridors’ and learning pods. Since the floor takes up such a dominant place within the building, IJburg College 2 deliberately opted for the Bolidtop^® 700 College, a floor system developed especially for educational institutions. It is available in a variety of colours, easy to clean and requires little maintenance. Besides, the Bolidtop^® 700 College is a heavy-duty floor; an absolute must with a view to the intensive foot traffic at the school. Thanks to this choice, IJburg College 2 makes considerable savings in terms of its operating costs: funds the school is eager to spend on actual teaching.
