Built during the fifties in Almada, the Emdio Navarro Secondary

School (1956-1958) was initially performing as a Technical
School, and later converted into a Secondary School.
The original structural was respected as well as the internal
accessibility scheme, which keeps the original vertical access
columns and a centralized corridor, articulating two rows of
classrooms on both wings of the existent building, now regarded
as Unit A.

The ESEN material components, constructive and structural systems were

also respected during the inner functional reorganization process, which
implied vertical access columns insulation and structural reinforcement.

The gymnasium and sports building (Unit B) was also kept, and the
existing canteen was replaced by the gymnasium complementary spaces
such as restrooms and health resort.
The old workshop functions are now aggregated in the new building (Unit
C) distributed along three levels: electric, electronic and mechanical areas
on the ground floor, labs and computation technical rooms along the first
floor and teachers offices and auditorium on the upper floor.

A second new building (Unit D) is proposed housing an indoor

sports area on its upper level , the new canteen, the overall social
and recreational areas on the ground floor.

The outdoor areas were extensively remodelled and reorganized

in order to accommodate recreational, convivial / shaded, and
sports areas.
