The orginal edifice dates back from 1960 with its modernist taste that constrats the neighbouring residential buildings.

The intervention at Rainha Dona Leonor High School sought to uplift a rundown school of the city.

The proposed modernization program aimed to open the school to the community during and after school hours.

With the introduction of new facilities such as a covered sports field and a multipurpose hall.

Moreover, the design not merely changes the access points and the circulation patterns of the old edifice.

But it also establishes the entrance of the school with a covered front yard that acts as a meeting point for the students as well as a threshold to the interior of the building.

On the inside of this volumetric addition, numerous aerial galleries can be found criss-crossing above each other in an open quadruple height hall.

These suspended pathways have defined the circulation logic of the school´s interior.By connecting the different rooms of the building to this open space.
