该设计显示了一个醒目和独特的外观与大胆的性格，符合船舶和码头环境的气氛。大楼的正面已经开放，作为STC必须提供的东西的展示，同时提供必要的透明度，使学生能够与鹿特丹港的实际行动保持联系。由于与航运、运输、港口和生产等各个行业有着密切的联系，STC能够不断更新其课程，特别是在实地课程方面。为了让学生获得实践经验，STC操作模拟器。

The design shows a striking and unique appearance with a bold character that matches the atmosphere of shipboard and dockside environments. The front of the building has been opened up to act as a showcase of what the STC has to offer, while at the same time providing the necessary transparency to allow students to maintain a link with the real world action of the port of Rotterdam. Thanks to its many strong ties with every section of industry in the world of shipping, transport, ports and production, the STC is able constantly rejuvenate its curriculum, in particular where field courses are concerned. In order to enable students to gain practical experience, the STC operates simulators.

该建筑物经过特别改造，以容纳这些设施，从而形成了透明、清晰和开放的布局。这座建筑由堆叠的大厅组成。在底层，大楼的核心是靠码头活动，有一个车间大厅，里面有集装箱、一辆HGV和一台移动起重机。这条路线一直延伸到一个双层大厅，里面有一家朝南的餐厅。上面是一个大厅，有自习室，还有一个多媒体中心，墙壁是用厚厚的船绳建造的。这层楼也可容纳体育中心。这条路线的尽头是顶层，可俯瞰瓦勒哈文，并可容纳中级教育设施和会议室。

The building has been specially adapted to accommodate these facilities, resulting in a transparent, clear and open layout. The building comprises a system of stacked halls. On the ground floor, the core of the building breathes dockside activity with a workshop hall featuring shipping containers, an HGV and a travelling crane. The route continues to a double-height hall containing a south-facing restaurant. Above it lies a hall with study rooms and a multi-media centre with open walls constructed of thick shipping ropes. This floor also accommodates the sports centre. The route ends on the top floor, which offers a view of the Waalhaven and accommodates the intermediate level educational facilities and conference rooms.

该设计包括一个简单的结构概念，由一个钢支撑结构组成的混凝土空心板。由于使用了四条支线，因此形成了三个区域，跨度约为11米。大厅的大型建筑仅仅是通过省略一些混凝土板来创造的。其结果是一个灵活的建筑布局，可以很容易地适应不同的未来用途。整个建筑结构依然清晰可见，钢结、桁架和稳定的十字架有助于营造一种与航运和运输世界相匹配的建筑氛围。该设计使用现代，坚固和功能材料，以创造一个低维护和稳健的建筑.

The design includes a straightforward structural concept consisting of a steel supporting structure carrying concrete hollow-core slabs. The use of four supporting lines has resulted in three zones with large spans of approximately 11 metres. The mezzanines of the halls have been created simply by omitting a number of concrete slabs. The result is a flexible building with a layout that can easily be adapted for different future uses. The structure remains visible throughout the building, with the steel junctions, trusses and stabilising crosses contributing to a building atmosphere that matches the world of shipping and transport. The design uses modern, rugged and functional materials to create a low-maintenance and robust building.

在瓦勒哈文一侧，它有一个承重的幕墙，可以从外面直接看到建筑物的核心。在建筑物的两端，封闭的蓝色体积与垂直包层提供了一个明确的参考公路运输和航运集装箱。大部分教学设施和教室位于建筑物的长度沿线，有一个常规的、实用的外墙玻璃模式，以便于日光进入。

On the Waalhaven side it features a load-bearing curtain wall offering a view from the outside straight into the core of the building. On either end of the building, closed blue volumes with vertical cladding provide an unmistakable reference to road transport and shipping containers. Most of the teaching facilities and classrooms are located along the length of the building, with a regular and functional facade glazing pattern optimised for daylight access.
