The school offers a wide range of agricultural courses at the higher professional education, MBO, and VMBO levels. The 30,000 m² complex, which spans the size of a city block, consists of five sections, each with its own structure and appearance, and is nestled between the city and a green space along the Potmarge River. This area also includes various types of gardens, fields, and pastures for small livestock used for educational purposes.
The classrooms are located on both sides of a 140-metre-long, four-story-high central street; all practical rooms have been positioned here to bundle as much installation technology as possible. On the green north side, there are three wings containing classrooms and teaching rooms; on the urban south side, you will find practical classrooms, animal shelters, and the food technology department's educational technology halls. The administrative offices are located in a wing on the Oostergoweg. The semicircular connecting element between the administration and educational spaces—which serves as a new forecourt for the existing John the Baptist Church in terms of urban planning—houses the main entrance, canteen, media library, and auditorium.



Some of the greenhouses are placed on the roof of the educational wings, ensuring dual land use. The layout of the semi-public space surrounding the complex was developed in collaboration with landscape architect Copijn.



The project was designated an Example Project for Sustainable Construction in 1997.
