The new elementary school will bring together three school facilities of the city’s southwest neighborhoods into a single complex, aspiring to become a new urban polarity.
The school will be divided into 3 sections, with a total of 15 classrooms, embracing the goals outlined by the city administration:
– spacious and reconfigurable classrooms
– a generous connective system
– the presence of an agora/theater for larger groups
– flexible outdoor spaces for outdoor education
– the presence of a large gymnasium, suitable to accommodate outside users for local training and leagues.
