Lleida Faculty of Education

The faculty of education belongs to a new university campus beside the river. The Portuguese architect grouped classrooms, offices and an auditorium in white volumes set around open spaces.

The facades are ordered by deep grids of windows that shade the rooms, while lower volumes stretch along the ground.

Inside, curved ceilings, oval and round skylights and tall light shafts bring daylight deep into the auditorium, stairs and corridors.
