What I can see
The old school building is “embraced” -without being hidden- by the new, symmetrical and Π-shaped building, which consists mainly of metal. It has 5 floors, it is 200m. long and 7m. wide. The new wing of the school shows the harmonious coexistence between old and new. It completed the blind facade of the old building and opened a new entrance on the side of Agiou Dimitriou Street.
What I can't see
The old building was originally designed by Nikos Mitsakis in a strict modernist style. Patroklos Karantinos later adapted it to a more compromising style. The architects of the new wing are Anastasios Kotsiopoulos, Neli Arvanitopoulou, Dora Daki, Harry Bougadelli, Eleni Spartsi and Giorgos Horozoglou.
