De Wachter, the artwork of Boris Tellegen that has been located here since 2015, keeps watch for the school. The sculpture is made up of various cubist forms of three types of steel. Due to the different surface structures and angular shapes, the sculpture seems to merge with the surrounding buildings. The placement on high legs means that it might also be considered as a human: a building on legs.
