The natural lighting of the teaching spaces is guaranteed by the large windows facing east and west, protected by a portico 2.5 meters deep all around the facade, while the lighting of the central distribution space takes place by four large north-facing skylights that expand the space upwards.

The central space is also designed to accommodate recreational activities during cold periods, while in the summer, the large sliding windows of the classrooms allow them to expand towards the portico.
