LIVING THE EXAMPLE

The project is part of an ambitious national programme to improve the education in Uganda.

National Teachers Colleges (NTC) are involved to educate the future teachers of Uganda. The approach for NTC is the teachers becoming the example for a better Uganda. Living and learning at NTC campus reflects just that.

This means NTC is not only about education but extends to hygiene, healthy food, and developing knowledge in balance with the environment and natural resources.

Within this ambition the integral master plan and sustainable architecture is developed in a participative process with all stakeholders.

Special features are the use of local materials such as bamboo, and local bricks. No air conditioning is required, and buildings still have a cool feeling temperature inside. This is due to a unique zig-zag facade design.
