The new school building is located on the west of the building plot; the new multi-purpose building creates a school complex with the courtyard as the centre. From this vehicle free space, you can access the various buildings on the site: the multipurpose gym, the primary school and the football canteen.

A covered area on the edge of the square acts is used to connect the school to the gym. A staircase that leads to the upper floor to connect to public transport. This clear delineation of functions helps ensure user safety and optimum operation of the facilities.

The main building is organised on three floors. The four classrooms per level are located in the corners and each have a double orientation. To the east, at the playground level, the canteen is located below the car park and is directly connected with the kitchen from the multi-purpose hall. This space is available either for the school or for the football club. A passage connects the football field to the school yard and so makes it part of the life of the complex.

The facades are made of concrete to continue the style of the multipurpose hall and unify the different parts of the complex. They are treated as 'plastic' with facade biases. The corridors are bare concrete extensions of the outdoor spaces and contrast with the classrooms that are given a warmer treatment with larch panels and warm colours.
