The building is composed of for volumes hanging from a linear concourse which links all the parts of the school. The main building is two and three storeys high, and is set around a courtyard. The classrooms are located in three rectangles linked perpendicularly to the concourse, thus giving the building a comb-like shape. The result is a building with a very clear structure and easy to navigate. All the areas are flooded with natural light and the visual connection between the interior and exterior as well as between different levels enables the visitor to enjoy the view of different spaces simultaneously.
