What I can see

The school has two floors with a semi-basement, which at the time housed basic functions such as toilets, a canteen, a heating mechanism, etc. The classrooms are in order and the openings of the building are characterized by linearity. The volume of the stairwell protrudes, and there is an alternation between the surfaces with openings and the solid surfaces. It is distinguished by typological purity and at the same time combines classic rules of architecture with modernism, a fact that proves the deep knowledge and synthetic ability of the architect.

What I can't see

It is among the first schools built in the city after its integration into Greece. The school building program was implemented after a loan of 300 million drachmas when Eleftherios Venizelos was prime minister. These schools gave an opportunity for modern architecture to be developed in the city, a concept of which Nikos Mitsakis, architect of the specific school, was a fanatic supporter.
