Description

This temporary building takes advantage of its location in Prazquéron park to offer double exposure and access to the outside to the eight classrooms. Built using prefabricated wooden modules, the construction system allows for quick and efficient assembly. Although the structure is temporary and removable, the focus is on creating high-quality, comfortable teaching spaces, challenging the container-type solutions often used for this type of project. The four classrooms on the ground floor were delivered at the start of the 2023 school year. The wooden structure allows for great flexibility to adapt to future needs. This quality has already been put to good use for the start of the 2025 school year, with the addition of an extra floor housing four new classrooms. Prefabricated modular timber construction was also the natural choice for this extension to the building. The large glass façades provide a direct visual connection to the park and a quality of light that is favourable for classroom activities. Each room has dual orientation and direct access to the outside. The covered gallery surrounding the building provides a buffer zone to the outdoors and forms effective sun-shading to prevent overheating during periods of hot weather. Despite its temporary nature, the pavilion offers high-quality, comfortable teaching spaces that comply with current standards.
