The project involves the construction of a new school gymnasium to complement the new S. Odorico primary school complex, located on Via Flangini in the municipality of Sacile. The gymnasium is classified as an A1 class and will serve two sections of the primary school, for a total of ten classes. The building is located on the
western side of the lot and is functionally and physically connected to the school's main entrance via a glassed-in connection. This connecting element provides direct access to the school and a 72.6 m² multipurpose classroom, equipped with a separate entrance from the outside, allowing for independent use even outside of school hours.

The internal connection, developed according to an inverted “L” configuration, is equipped with two external accesses and distributes the various service areas in a clear and functional way, including:
• teachers' changing room (16.6 m²);
• male and female student changing rooms, each with a surface area of 18.8 m²;
• physical activity field, with a total surface area of 360 m².
The playing field has direct access to the outside on the north and south sides, ensuring adequate safety and drainage. On the north side, midway between the connecting road and the field, is the infirmary and its restrooms (13 m²). It also has direct external access, close to the driveway, to facilitate any emergency interventions.
The portico helps regularize the overall volume and establishes formal and stylistic continuity with the architecture of the new school building, reinforcing the unity of the entire complex. Within this composition, an element of volumetric discontinuity is inserted, represented by a simple, double-story rectangular volume, which serves as the dominant architectural element and clearly identifies the gymnasium's primary function.
This volume encloses the playing field and is distinguished by the presence, in the upper portion, of solar shading on all sides and large glass surfaces extending along the entire length of the north and south elevations, ensuring adequate natural lighting and spatial quality to the interior spaces.
