Isolated building in the middle of the courtyards, the ground plan of which is a rectangular structure divided into three symmetrically placed sections: in the centre, an entrance set back from the façade, like a portico or covered gateway, with cloakrooms on either side; next, the lobby; and finally, a classroom on each side. At the end of the hallway there was a shorter structure, with a portico and connected to the back patio, with a large central classroom (assembly hall) and small rooms, an office and toilets around it. It has a ground floor and first floor, with a Arabic tile roof and ornamental spheres at the corners. A stone plinth acts as a base for the smooth stuccoed upper walls – the openings on the ground floor form a round arch, while those on the upper floor form a series of vertical rectangular windows on either side of the portico, with moulded sills and cornices. This was a feature that Pericas used profusely in many of his works. The portico is treated with stuccoed and sgraffitoed walls in red ochre and white.
It was built in 1932 by the local architect Josep Maria Pericas, at a time when the artist was influenced by, or at least familiar with, the early works of the architect GROPIUS.
It is a national school also known as Sant Miquel Vell in comparison with the private school located in the same street which is also known as Sant Miquel dels Sants. The school responded perfectly to the process of pedagogical renovation that had been implemented by the Mancomunitat de Catalunya and which took special care to achieve optimal hygienic conditions related to orientation, ventilation and natural lighting.
