The project proposes the building as a linear block running parallel to the future Pardinyes boulevard.

The teaching programme is organised in this block and differentiates the classroom and laboratory areas from the public and representative areas, such as the assembly hall and the library. These areas are arranged in two bodies of complex geometry and enhance access to the building.

The foyer is resolved with a large empty volume, in the manner of a lobby, thus allowing the exterior space-platform to penetrate into the interior with maximum fluidity. This foyer will have the vocation of a covered public square, will introduce complexities in its section and will act as a true meeting and exchange point for the school.
