The building works as an end to the longitudinal axis of the campus, surrounded by green areas, the volume concavely embraces the space generating an entrance plaza and a patio leading to the classrooms.

The materiality takes into account the characteristics of the surrounding projects, the use of facing brick and concrete as the exposed structure. The skin of the building allows the efficient use of natural light and is at the same time a reference to the structural idea of ​​the “bookcase”, in which horizontal structures support vertical laminar pieces, books, or in the case of the project, prefabricated panels for the library building and the western sector of the classrooms block.
