The building covers an area of about 1000 square meters and is organized in three parallel slats of 6 meters, separated by circulation spaces with a width of 4 m. The two schools are physically independent but thanks to a small interior patio is possible the connection between the two school units during events. The classrooms are positioned in order to ensure a lateral facing outwards and towards the garden and an adequate intake of natural light and ventilation. The central part instead homed offices, blocks services, warehouses and technical rooms. The seven longitudinal and transverse load-bearing elements are made of precast concrete.
The entire complex is based on a simple and modular construction system that allowed a good speed in the process of prefabrication and assembly and that has allowed it to meet the tight timeframe for the construction provided by the notice (45 days).
