Extended to the south, the façade is marked by a portico which reinforces the presence of the school. A void is drawn between the main body of the extension and the bike room, linked by a wide canopy. This form defines the entrance to the building.

The design of the portico and the volume of the extension express the institutional value of the establishment, while the warm materiality of the bricks, the warm colors of the corten steel, the motif of the bicycle rack and the reintroduction of nature into the courtyard announce from the very threshold of the establishment the qualities of atmosphere, space and use of a place where one should feel good to dispense and receive knowledge, to work in the life of the establishment.
