Text description provided by the architects. Built during the fifties in Almada, the Emídio Navarro Secondary School (1956-1958) was initially performing as a Technical School (Escola Industrial e Comercial de Almada), and later converted into a Secondary School.

As Secondary School, the Escola Secundária Emídio Navarro (ESEN) was recently included in a modernization program fund that financed the school’s functional revamp and expansion regarding its optimal performance.

The original structural was respected as well as the internal accessibility scheme, which keeps the original vertical access columns and a centralized corridor, articulating two rows of classrooms on both wings of the existant building, now regarded as Unit A.

The ESEN material components, constructive and structural systems were also respected during the inner functional reorganization process, which implied vertical access columns insulation and structural reinforcement.

Unit A will house the classroom areas and main complementary functions, whose reorganization will allow full optimization and an overall performance enhancement.

Through the northern entrance and along Unit A’s first floor are displayed the management and the school supportive functions, as well as the library, in direct contact with the urban environment.
