Complete mission of stability concerning the construction of 2 school buildings for basic education with 10 classrooms, administrative and technical premises, a sports hall, changing rooms and toilets, … The first building is composed of a R+1 and a courtyard in metallic structure. The second building houses the sports hall on the first floor and two upper floors.
The school is made entirely of wood with CLT walls and floors. The major challenge of the project was to allow the school to remain in operation on the site throughout the construction period. The use of wood, and particularly CLT, enabled the superstructure of the two buildings to be erected in less than a week, thus limiting the nuisance (noise, truck arrivals, dust, mud, etc.) for the children and teaching staff.
