The project covers a surface of 15 000 m2 and represents a big campus, consisting of school buildings, residential area, hotel,
gymnasium, etc. The classrooms are situated stepwise on the hill in the form of narrow straps, each benefiting of a panoramic view towards the river. In the center between the two “wings” of classrooms a large common space called “the agora” connects the whole building and offers versatile opportunities for different activities.
The vertical glazing of the agora is providing natural lighting for the internal square. This part of the school is covered, but not
heated, as part of the energy saving strategy of the project.
Jean Moulin High School is an outstanding example of an innovative architecture submerged into the landscape, respecting the
context and not trying to dominate the nature, energy conscious and appealing for the young.
