Improvement of Educational Services at the San Francisco de Asís School, Acobamba

SCP Peru supervised the construction of the new IE San Francisco de Asís in the district of Acobamba in the department of Huancavelica. The project’s goal is to provide adequate educational infrastructure on an 8,656.58^m2 site. The project will benefit a school population of 788 students in the Huancavelica region.

The pavilions were developed in three levels of height in each block, being new balcony gallery type buildings; which opens onto the civic courtyard; allowing spatial communication of all blocks, sports center, student dining room and outdoor patios, horizontal circulation is given by a gallery-balcony type passageway, which allows spatial connection with the complete architectural complex, vertically connected to one end by a stairwell with elevator, which is exclusively for the movement of people with disabilities movement.

These types of blocks are proposed because the Educational Institution is part of the Full Special Day model, in which one of its characteristics is to have specialized classrooms for each subject or subject with which the students will be the ones who change classrooms at each change of subject. Under such characteristic, nucleated classrooms with a clean and spacious circulation are proposed to facilitate the flow at each subject change, in addition to guaranteeing the flow during any time of the day and under any weather conditions.
