The resulting pattern is usual in buildings of this kind (the H pattern); in the center is placed the common room and on the wings on the first and second floors are the regular classrooms and the interlocking classrooms communicating with each other through an internal staircase. Special classrooms, service and administrative activities are located on the ground floor. All the building bodies have a double facing to the north and south, but the classrooms have a privileged facing, through a large glass window, to the space inside the two arms of the H so as to ensure a certain isolation of the activities taking place there. The common room faces directly outside onto the green space and through two side windows onto the facing space of the classrooms. In this way from the common room it is possible to establish a relationship with the surrounding greenery and have a unified view of the whole school. The distinction of the parts, in the long, intentionally unified front, was entrusted to the difference in the ratio of full and empty space and the construction of four towers (three elevator towers and a chimney) placed to further emphasize the division of the interior spaces. The building is constructed of exposed brick; the towers are made of reinforced concrete painted white.
