The Escola dos Sentidos [School of the Senses], with a privileged view of the Douro River, is located in an area of 10,000 square meters and is able to host 500 students from pre-school to elementary school.
The project, designed by architect Joaquim Massena, reconciles the pedagogical aspects with a physical model, generating a unique building that stimulates human senses; "it is a mini-town, a school where the corridors are streets and the atriums are city squares".
From the open-air amphitheatre, one moves to an interior with wide corridors and wide spaces. Equipped with laboratories, canteen, amphitheatre for the stage arts, medical office and, 12 meters deep, the multi-sports hall is prepared to host high competition events.
