The school is located on a hill and features a colossal rock-like concrete wall facing south with a folded plate structure planetarium hovering above. The complex also includes a main building with class rooms, a large conference room and a watch tower. Special thanks to Edu Lartzanguren

In the early 2010s apartment buildings were built nearby which caused the foundation of the school to move. Parts of the main building had to be demolished (as can be seen in the last picture) and the tower and planetarium are closed off for strucural safety reasons.
This building was included in the red list, published in our exhibition catalog SOS Brutalism: A Global Survey (September 2017). After a status review on November 5, 2024, it is still classified as red (endangered) in the online database.
