The building program, along with classrooms and offices, includes semi-industrial workshops. The educational spaces are organized in a lineal scheme of corridors, stringing them together around a central rectangular courtyard. The offices as well are organized around a small square courtyard. These two systems converge in the main hall, which incorporates the double height marked by the two levels of classrooms. Access from the exterior to this more vertical space is made through the porch, more compressed due to its low ceiling. A large warehouse and a residence are established as independent volumes, tensing the open space between them.

The building construction is of an accomplished simplicity, with exposed structure of metallic beams which ease the placement of installations, and exposed brick interior and exterior closure walls which serves to highlight the spatial continuity.
