Modernist school building, decided in 1935 and built around 1936 to plans by the architect Joseph Moutschen, on the corner of Rue C. Demblon. It has an E-shaped plan in yellow brick, limestone and concrete under a flat roof: the central block, housing the gymnasium, separates two classroom wings originally assigned to girls and boys. Large ribbon windows emphasise the horizontality of the composition.
