The project consists of expanding the Armand-Corbeil school by adding 6,710 m2 to accommodate students with special needs from the Impact school. Contributing to the creation of a remarkably welcoming space, the various areas are arranged around a bright central core. Upon entering, students are immersed in the heart of the school, in a large public space with bleachers that is open and serves as a cafeteria, study area, and a place for socializing and cultural and educational activities. This space extends to the outdoor garden, a lively, green space that encourages interaction and exchange.
