Unveiling the new Public School Les Arts

NEW PUBLIC SCHOOL LES ARTS

The new Public School Les Arts designed by ERRE and promoted by Juan Roig`s patrimonial society Licampa 1617 S.L., has begun its construction phase.

This new educational building, which will replace the current “Les Arts” public school, will be located on the plot delimited by Ángel Villena, Blas Gámez Ortiz and Antonio Ferrandis streets and is expected to open in the next academic year 2021-2022.

From a regular structure and a constant module, the project is organized in two parallel volumes separated by a central patio. These two pieces host the kindergarten and primary classrooms program respectively, establishing a clear and simple functional organization.

The project is defined by open spaces with large glazed surfaces that allow natural light to enter the classrooms and the possibility of extending them to the exterior, thus enhancing outdoor educational activities and blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor space.

From an environmental point of view, the project count with vegetation throughout the entire facility improving the air quality and the well-being of children and teachers.

Apart of this, several environmentally friendly measures have been taken such us solar control systems, the use of LED lighting, motion detectors in specific areas, or dropped ceilings made from plant-based fibres to improve insulation and reduce noise pollution.

In addition, a series of interior patios with vegetation have also been introduced in order to introduce natural light to the corridors and provide cross-ventilation to all the classrooms.

MATERIALITY AND ENVIRONMENT OF THE SCHOOL

Finally, the new educational facility will use high-quality materials and easy-to-clean hygienic surfaces, always thinking about the maintenance and sustainability of the new school.
