MCA project is thought to stimulate the child's interaction with the surrondings space according to a vision of "teaching" in which nothing is left to chance, from the distribution of educational areas to the choice of materials of construction, up to the integration between indoor and outside space.

The structure involves the use of natural and recycled materials with low environmental impact. In particular, the suporting structure is made up of wooden frame: a safe and ideal material to keep the thermal insulation of the building.

The hight insulation, the optimal distribution of transparent surfaces, the use of advanced systems of rainwater harvesting and insertion of a photovoltaic system on the roof, will allow the building to minimize the use of mechanical equipment to meet the energy needs of the school.
