From a construction point of view, both
the exterior and the rooms inside have been treated with a great
deal of sobriety. On the exterior, the unique texture of the brick
walls, carefully laid out in staggered strips to bring out horizontality
with lines of shadow, thereby affording the plane with greater
materiality, seves as a counterpoint to the huge curtain wall
running across the northeast façade.

In terms of layout, three different sized
bays were set out allowing for a clear, orderly, functional organization
of the building in three bands running lengthwise, establishing
a hierarchy between "served" and "service"
areas. The classrooms, laboratories, workshops and auditorium
are set in the largest of the bays, oriented towards the northeast,
and lit by a glass enclosure, taking up three, four or five of
the building's structural metal mold portions according to their
needs.

Stairway Details
The southeastern band accomodates passages.
A stairway is set out lengthwise together with corridors on the
top three levels. Lastly, the intermediate bay is basically taken
up by offices and several rest rooms.
