The Middle School building is located as an extension of the Elementary building of the Benjamin Franklin International School Campus in the Sarrià neighborhood of Barcelona. These two buildings share a dividing wall and will be connected to each other by the corridor.

Volume aligned with the playground,  has a ground floor, basement, three floors and an accessible roof for a playground. The ground floor is used almost entirely for the library and media library rooms. In the upper levels, the typological model proposed is compact with a central corridor, where classrooms and offices for teachers are placed on each side. The corridors, due to their size, and areas of relationship, function as an extension of the same classroom, being able to bring teaching to them, making teaching even more flexible. Laboratories and storages are located in the basement.
