An isolated building in the middle of the courtyards, its architectural layout consists of a rectangular nave divided into three symmetrically arranged sections: in the centre, an entrance set back from the façade, like a covered portico or gate, with cloakrooms on either side; next, the hall; and on either side, a classroom. At the back of the vestibule was a shorter section with a portico connected to the rear courtyard, with a large central classroom (assembly hall) surrounded by small rooms, an office and toilets. It has a ground floor and first floor, with an Arabic tile roof and ornamental balls at the corners. A stone plinth forms the base of the upper walls, which are smoothly plastered; the openings on the ground floor are round arches, while those on the upper floor form a series of vertical rectangular windows on each side of the portico, with sills and cornices highlighted with mouldings. This is a feature that Pericas used extensively in many of his works. The portico is finished with stuccoed walls and sgraffito in ochre, mangra and white.
This work was built at a time when the southern part of the city was growing towards the Barcelona road and the Remei neighbourhood.
A new bridge was built over the Gurri (1916), replacing the 15th-century bridge.
Pericas had already experimented with the model for the Jaume Balmes School complex in the Sant Miquel dels Sants school complex, also in Vic, a year earlier, in 1932, using very similar functional, compositional and decorative features. Both schools responded perfectly to the pedagogical renewal process implemented by the Mancomunitat de Catalunya, which took special care to achieve optimal hygienic conditions in terms of orientation, ventilation and natural lighting.
