December 2018 - Graafschap College in Doetinchem, the Netherlands, opened a center for its sports and movement and security and craftsmanship program in August 2018. Designed by architecture firm cepezed in the city of Delft, the façades are horizontally articulated, with alternating strips of glass and black aluminum panels.

With the exception of the north side, a second skin of Corten steel has been placed in front of the façades, with a design that refers to the oak trees growing around the school. The Corten steel, which also functions as sun shading, is perforated so that there are sufficient sightlines from the inside looking out and diffused natural light flowing in.
