 Main Facade, Image Courtesy © lionel debs architectures Due to a lack of space, the City decided to renovate the whole existing building and add a new building with extra classrooms, a new entrance lobby and a shared multi-functional hall.

Besides, the historical context and the city regulation implied to limit the building height and to propose a smooth visual link to the neighborhood.

On the ground floor, the children have access to the shared part of the school : the multi-functional hall and the computer room. All the classrooms are located in the upper levels as a cantilever over the cover yard.
