The new school has two entrances on the ground floor: a main entrance to the south and a secondary entrance to the north. The latter is used in the evenings for events in the auditorium. The sports halls are accessible via a separate entrance, allowing sports clubs to use them outside school hours.
The landscaped linear park begins at Parc des Tritons and ends at Avenue du Pailly, which is also lined with large trees. The park creates a significant public space with randomly arranged areas for sports, tenant gardens, and rainwater infiltration. Pedestrians and cyclists can use the park along two paths. When developing the surrounding plots, semi-private outdoor spaces should be created to reinforce the park’s public character. This new park connects neighbourhoods and links their green spaces.
