AKV St. Joost

St. Joost School of Art and Design (formerly Academy of Art and Design St. Joost, Dutch Akademie voor Kunst en Vormgeving St. Joost, Breda) is a Dutch academy of art and design based in Breda and 's-Hertogenbosch. The school is part of Avans University of Applied Sciences with offices in Breda, 's-Hertogenbosch and Tilburg. Location The location in Breda is a former seminary on the outskirts of the city. The school's location in 's-Hertogenbosch is a stone's throw from the railway station. It is a remnant of the school that was originally called Royal Academy of Arts and Design, 's-Hertogenbosch. Up to 2017 this school was situated in the former Remington-typewriter factory on the Onderwijsboulevard. This building is a remarkable design by architect Hugh Maaskant, and especially suitable for a school that requires much natural light. The school was next moved to the EKP building, its current (2018) location. This is a building where mail and packages were handled, located along the railway track just north of the station.
