The main material for the public rooms is a glass and the Pilkington Profilit glazing system (channel glass). The channel glass by Pilkington Profilit was chosen as a reminder on the industrial past of the building and for its constructive and esthetic properties (MARCH is located in the design center «Artplay» at the former factory).

Due to the translucency of the Pilkington Profilit channel glass, the office of the MARCH is located in a class rooms, and visually belongs to the hall.

The color plays the important role in the interior. The spaces of each school are marked in different colors: blue belongs to MARCH, orange - the British Higher School of Art&Design, green - the Moscow Film School. Thus the interior «tells» about the filling.
