Text description provided by the architects. This rehabilitation is a clear opportunity for a new deal and provides the chance to offer all users a new working and living environment. The architectural challenge is to create a core, re-orient the polarities of the school, harmonise a high school made of heterogeneous buildings. The entire restructuring of the teaching building (externat) and the addition of a school library on the restaurant's terraced roof therefore allow students to find a coherence in its use. The coherence of the architectural design results from the use of white Trespa panels. The white facing of the teaching building becomes the scenic background for the white-striated homogenous block of pure volumes which hosts the school library and the restaurant on the schoolyard level.
