Jåttå Vocational School

Space shapes the way we learn. The design of learning spaces determines how we work within them, and defines the nature and experience of the work. For the Jåttå Vocational School, Henning Larsen created an environment that accommodates a range of learning styles. Filled with natural daylight, a comfortable central atrium forms the social heart of the school – Integrating space for a cafeteria, recital area and social spaces, the multi-use atrium exemplifies the way the building encourages community through light and activity. A finalist building in World Architecture News’ 2009 World Class Education awards, the Jåttå School exemplifies how Henning Larsen creates space to support individualized learning.
