Herman Hertzberger designed two schools in Willemspark, Amsterdam in 1983.  The schools were called Montessori School and Willemspark School.  These two schools were grouped around a common ground along with a third school designed by Liesbeth van der Pol.  Some people call these Apollo schools because they blend in with their surroundings, and they have a villa-like appearance.  Hertzberger’s schools were similar in structure. They were squared with the classrooms grouped around a central hall. Both schools still stand today.  They are still being used to help educated the youth in the Netherlands, and are just another successful project by Hertzberger.
