The available lot was appropriately expanded towards the north, in accordance with the provisions of the PRG, until reaching the maximum extension of 7,785 m2 envisaged by the urban plan. The new school complex benefits from exceptional orographic and panoramic conditions, rising on the crest of the Nagnin promontory of glacial and alluvial origin, characterized by a majestic all-round panorama of the Val di Non, and elevated so as not to suffer interference with the urban context.
The trend of the ridge with a north-south direction and the location of the lot on its morning side of the promontory, adhering to the local municipal road which runs along it axially from north to south, allows full exploitation of the exposure to the east, on the 'wide view of the open valley, and allows the arrangement of classrooms along the eastern side, protected and opposite the road.
The functional layout of the new complex provides for the separation of the two schools into distinct buildings of a single building, equipped with separate entrances, connected to a central body of common services and to the gymnasium located at one end. The largest building, that of the secondary buildings, was fixed on the grid oriented to the south-east, arranged on two floors and supported by the gymnasium, positioned at the head, to the north, and to the side of the entire complex, with a protective function from atmospheric agents more accidents on the site.
The administrative and management offices are located on the ground floor of the building intended for the secondary school, located next to the central building for general services. The teaching environments of the primary school are located in the single-storey building, located to the south together with the teachers' rooms. The presence of the VV FF building with its courtyard at underground level and related access ramp affects the usability of the lot in the placement of the buildings, forcing the northern part, with the adjoining gym, into a restricted space.
The asphalted terrace above the VV FF depot, located at street level, is kept as a car park reserved for the school and as a parking space for the minibus transporting the students. The thermal power plant running on methane will be located at basement level, outside the site of the building above ground, partially facing above ground.
The structure, which has an elongated shape in the NS direction, is made up of a series of 5 independent buildings. Specifically, the following are identified: the North Gym block (Block 1), the middle schools (Block 2 and Block 3) arranged on two levels, the canteen-auditorium (Block 4) and the elementary schools arranged on a single level (Block 5 ) to the South. The structural complex is built almost completely above ground with the exception of a central area in correspondence with Block 2 where the construction of a basement is planned.
