The Adolphe Max School is a kindergarten of the French-speaking education of the City of Brussels. The school belongs to the Adolphe Max complex, which also includes a primary and secondary school. The project for the kindergarten is part of a larger plan for the complete refurbishment of the complex.

History kindergarten

The Adolphe Max kindergarten was founded in 1926. It was located in a pavilion from 1914 at the Boulevard Clovis 42. In the 70s, a 2nd branch opened in 2 houses at the Boulevard Clovis 29 and 31. But these premises were now too small for the large number of children.

New premises

The Town Planning, Finance and Education departments of the City of Brussels worked together on a new building for the kindergarten. The project included 2 areas:

Building at the Rue Charles Quint 25

Construction of a new building with (800 m2) [plan]:

• 4 classes
• 1 playroom
• 1 playground
• 1 guarding local

Building on the Boulevard Clovis 42

Demolition of the pavilion and construction of a new building with (2.200 m2) [plan]:

• 8 classes
• 1 playground
• 1 indoor play area (400 m2)
• 1 refectory
• 1 room for the siesta

The costs of the project amount to 5.600.000 euro. 250 children, spread over 12 classes, are received here. The houses were renovated and now serve as transit schools (for pupils who temporarily need to move because of infrastructure works).
