The project was entrusted to the Cabinet Architect MA.A, and includes several buildings including the administrative building, courses and amphitheatre. It is an H-shaped building with a basement and a ground floor. It is spread over a 1,000 m² floor surface area and has a structure made of steel and concrete. To highlight the many facets imposed on the shape of the roof of the building, metal framework was the preferred option for the entire floor of the building. The main facade required the insertion of rhombic glazing. Inclining the columns of the curtain wall proved useful and ensured the harmony of the facade designed by MA.A Cabinet.
