The project starts from a functional interpretation of the School that led him to organize parallelepiped bodies whose volume responds directly to the surface required by the program.

Thus, on the basis of halls and administrative and management areas, rise the twin towers where classrooms are linked by a vertical communications central element.

For the construction of the towers was used a cross system of rolled steel gantries, with Vierendel backbones side by side. In the rear wings are located the teaching laboratories and nuclear laboratory built with reinforced concrete.
