The work is located on a 770 m2 site and will have 4 classrooms, a kitchen, a secretary's room, a teachers' room with a bathroom, a bathroom for children and a bathroom for the disabled, with a total constructed area of ​​668 m2. The architectural design includes a large sheet metal envelope that generates a continuous air flow in order to allow ventilation of the semi-covered space for the expansion of the classrooms and recreation for the students. It has a traditional construction system, a stalls made of reinforced concrete and exposed double-walled masonry and hollow brick, ceramic floors in classrooms, and smoothed concrete in both semi-covered and uncovered spaces.
