Rosten School (Norwegian: Rosten skole) is a school in Trondheim, Norway. It is situated near the giant mall City Syd and the schools of KVT and Tiller. It harbors the grades 1-10 and therefore covers both the primary and the lower secondary role.
History
The school was built in 1986, by the same architects who designed Rostenhallen (the neighbouring sports arena) the following year. The school is designed to be an open classroom-landscape, and the structure is two U-shaped buildings knit together by a glass-roof and separated by an indoor "street", which according to the architects acts as a stimulative and attractive place of study. This design was not common in schools earlier, and Rosten is therefore seen as a model for other schools. The buildings create two schoolyards; one to the south and one to the north. Although the school is built squarely with a flat roof, it is compensated by the materials used; red, warm brick and blue windows. These materials reappear in the two neighbouring structures of Rostenhallen and Tiller, and creates a visual unity between them.
