Viewed from the outside, the new school building consists of two parts: a ground floor and a transverse pitched roof.
CLT panels are not perforated with traditional windows, but rather the windows are placed between wooden panels.
The new annex replaces the hundred-year-old school building that burned down and complements the courtyard opening towards the Kiiminki River.
The new building has almost four times the area of ​​the previous building on the spot.
The lunchroom is also used for performances and public events. The adjacent music classroom opens into the lunchroom with a folding wall.
The lunchroom receives natural light from the opposite directions.

The large roof shelters both the wooden frame and the terraces that run along the sides of the building.
Rainwater gutters are integrated into the roof, and the ventilation supply-air grille is integrated into the underside of the eaves.
