In a rare opportunity, the neighborhood was developed in parallel with the school. Thanks to the collaboration of the developer, the layout was modulated to offer a safe and pleasant environment. We also incorporated the principles of LAB-École into our design: a connection between the student and his or her environment, spaces for meeting and exchange, and versatility of use.

Above all, the project focuses on children's well-being. By combining the principles of sustainable development and the WELL approach, the children benefit from stimulating, comfortable and bright facilities - enough to make them want to grow up there!
