建筑为ID职业大学的新楼，位于Leiden充满历史气息的城市中心，内设健康护理专业，对学生进行相关的职业教育和培训。由于市区经过多年历史沉淀形成了复杂的形态，建筑师对环境进行了彻底调研，综合建筑、城市规划、景观、室内和工程等因素，让设计既满足功能需求，又和周边区域保持协调。

ID College and ROC Leiden offer secondary vocational training and education. The new build location in the historic city centre of Leiden accommodates the vocational education for students in healthcare. The complexity and historical nature of the inner city site required a thorough analysis in order to developed a design vision which reconciled these aspects within the brief. The integrated approach in which architecture, urban planning, landscape, interior design and engineering converge results in a unique design.

设计不仅反映了基地的特点，还加强了Leiden历史中心的结构和特性。建筑的外观低调，临街面采用砖墙，融合于环境之中，多变的体块被设置在砖墙之后。曾经的邮局虽然被整合到了新建筑之中，但依然保持着自身的独立性和辨识度。不同学科的建筑各具特色，通过巷道和三个庭院联系在一起。三个庭院中有两个分别供教师和学生使用，第三个为建筑中庭，向公众开放。

The design reflects the character of the site, whilst strengthening the structure and identity of Leiden’s historical centre. The new building for ID College and ROC Leiden has a modest appearance, befitting its context. Varying volumes and functions are unified behind a coherent brick facade. The former post office building has been integrated into the new facility and remains recognisable as an independent building. The various departments are connected by alleys and three courtyards, each with their own unique identity. There is a courtyard for the teaching staff, one for the students and a public courtyard in the form of an atrium.

新建筑是Leiden市经济和社会结构的一部分，中央巷道穿过中庭，贯通了整座综合体，将Breestraat和Boommarkt连接在一起。这片区域在上课期间也向公众开放，行人可以通过透明的立面看到练习室以及其他教学楼内的公共功能空间，为学生和教师提供安全的教学氛围。

The new building is part of the economic and social fabric of the city of Leiden. A central alley runs through the complex, connecting the Breestraat to Boommarkt and passing through the atrium. During school hours, this alley is publicly accessible. The transparent facades allow passers-by to view practice rooms and other public functions from the street and the atrium. This orientation of views from public to private provides a safe atmosphere for the students and staff.

ID大学内的教学设施具有多变性，有助于最先进的教学手段在这里实施。随着教育形式的更新，人们对空间的需求不断变化，建筑多功能的平面设计提供了各种各样的活动场所，包括信息收集室、小组工作区以及社交房间。

The ID College facilities are designed with flexibility in mind and facilitate the latest developments in teaching methods. The building has been arranged to anticipate new forms of education and changing needs for space and layouts. The multifunctional layout can accommodate different individual and collective uses and includes workspaces for data collection, group work spaces, and common rooms for social interaction.
