Dating back to the early 20th century, this was the first high school planned from scratch in line with the innovative concepts of modern Portuguese education system. The rehabilitation intervention of Passos Manuel High School involved structural reinforcement, and re-structuring of the existing building and outdoor spaces, the introduction of new facilities and their adaptability to the existing building, including the construction of a new multi-sports complex and an underground cafeteria. The proper selection of materials and solutions respectful of this historic building allowed the heritage value of the architectural identity to be preserved.
