The Mariëndael school was scheduled for demolition, but was eventually renovated. As a result, the school was able to retain its large location near the center of Arnhem. New construction would have been much further away from the center.
For VSO Mariëndael, the school board "De Onderwijsspecialisten" and "GAJ Architecten" opted for Marmoleum Linear flooring in two colour tones, with a total of around 6,000 m2.
Mariëndael is a school for secondary special education and teaches students with a mental disability. To make it clear to the pupils which areas of the school are traffic areas and which areas are work or living areas, two different colours were chosen for the floor. They blend in beautifully throughout the school. Marmoleum Linear flooring was chosen because of its warm and natural appearance and its dirt-hiding properties.
