Rover Alcisa is performing the construction of a new nursery and primary school in Puerto de Sagunto. The work on the centre of San Francisco de Borja are substantially advanced in terms of schedule, in fact, its completion is foreseen before the contract term.

The centre has 18 classrooms and canteen service, sports area with gym, and is designed as a space with its own identity that allows to understanding this particular school as a place for children, with own interrelated spaces that promotes both teaching and learning.

The centre consists of four main blocks: the nursery block, the primary block, the sports area and administrative area, which articulates from the special access to both classrooms and common areas, as well as the dining room and patios.

The relationship between interior and exterior spaces are integral to a way of understanding the relationship between learner and teacher.

Construction of the centre

The construction system is based on the use of a floor supported by pad-way restrained. On the facade, it has essentially large windows that allow a direct relationship between the exterior and interior, while the inner cladding is coated with durable materials based on terrazzo colours that identify through a simple code, each of the areas that make up the building, making it possible from the outside can identify each of the spaces of the centre’s program.

The terrazzo floors are fine grained and with the least possible joints. Toilets have been built in ceramic slip, while for the gym and the nursery classrooms soft floors have been placed.
