The partnership of elton_léniz and Forma Colectiva has won first place in the design competition for the future educational campus of the Chilean Army War Academy in Santiago. The project includes the construction of a classroom block, a dining hall, a 750 m2 library, a 3,000 m2 office podium, an auditorium, and underground parking, in addition to the renovation of the main headquarters building and a pagoda.

The winning team proposes a design based on three operations: void—"transforming the existing historical buildings and the new classroom block into the parade ground"—, plinth—valuing "the buildings steeped in history and symbolism by bringing them together on the same level as the classroom block"—, and volume arrangement.

The architecture firm Prado Arquitectos has been awarded first place in the design competition for the Armando Arancibia Olivos School (G-501), the only educational facility on Mocha Island, Chile—an island in the Pacific Ocean located 35 kilometers off the coast of Tirúa, accessible only by plane or boat.

In 2017, the Regional Government of Biobío issued a public tender for the reconstruction and relocation of the school, incorporating energy efficiency concepts into both its passive design and its active systems.
