Four modular units for the classrooms, library, and laboratory establish an atrium, in addition to the school’s forum. The modular units are prefabricated and lined with concrete block self-bearing walls.

The idea was to make a strong statement with these notched walls to enrich the ensemble with an elementary composition. The interior space is united to the volume of the staircase through a diagonally placed bridge, creating a tension in the regularity of the composition. The forum, with its crimson-colored bleachers, occupies the center of the ensemble. The tall robust walls, without perforations, contribute to the creation of a massive architecture, without ostentation toward the exterior, similar to that practiced by the indigenous peoples, as well as during the Colonial Period by the Spanish and Creoles. This ascetic creation is in direct contrast with the cheerfulness and luminosity of the interior space, covered by an almost invisible steel-and-acrylic structure.

From the bridge one can witness this dual situation concurrently. The apertures strategically located at the corners are expressed as a manner of escapes toward the outdoors. In the course of time other buildings were constructed which, joined by covered walkways, made up the Ceremonial Plaza, which rendered unity to the ensemble. The entrance building with its three triangular roofs seen from below, offer a visual transparency toward the Ceremonial Plaza.

The contrasting use of coarse materials such as concrete blocks and bushhammered concrete, with steel elements painted in bright vivid colors, makes both mutually valued in this coexistence. All the classrooms fully enjoy the splendid landscape.
