Collège Notre-Dame de Bon secours – Construction21

Written by esba

Since the start of the 2017 All Saints’ Day school year, the 5th and 6th secondary students of the Collège Notre-Dame de bon secours in Binche are the first in Belgium to attend classes in a straw and wood-frame insulated building. A spacious, bright and healthy pavilion has replaced a prefabricated building made of energy-wasting sheet metal. This pavilion is the first prefabricated school building made of wood, compressed straw and clay plaster in French-speaking Belgium.

FR: Depuis la rentrée de Toussaint 2017, les élèves de 5e et 6e secondaire du collège Notre-Dame de bon secours de Binche sont les premiers de Belgique à suivre des cours dans un bâtiment isolé à la paille et en ossature bois. Un pavillon spacieux, lumineux, et sain a remplacé un préfabriqué en tôle à déperdition énergétique. Ce pavillon, c’est le premier bâtiment préfabriqué scolaire en bois, paille compressée et enduits d’argile en Belgique francophone.
