The Garzón School

In November 2026, The Garzón School will complete Phase 2 of its campus expansion. Construction began in March 2026. When the doors open, TGS will offer a full educational pathway — from Early Years through to graduation at 18. That has always been the plan. This building makes it real.

Designed for how Secondary students actually learn

The new building is designed by Rosan Bosch Studio, the same practice behind TGS's existing campus, and built by Enkel, specialists in laminated mass timber construction whose factory in northern Uruguay significantly reduces the building's environmental footprint.

In keeping with the existing campus, the new building uses natural materials, local sourcing, and the same architectural language that makes TGS feel like a place rather than an institution. The building is partly double-storey, purpose-built for Secondary learning.

The building contains:

— Science laboratories
— A debating chamber
— An atelier
— Specialist studios
— Dedicated spaces for independent and collaborative work

A single elegant roof line connects the two new Secondary buildings together, creating covered outdoor space for learning and allowing students to move fluidly between buildings throughout the day. The school and the campus remain one Learning Village, as designed in our masterplan.

A milestone — not an arrival

This building completes TGS's physical infrastructure. It does not complete TGS. The school grows with its students: the oldest cohort will graduate from this building having spent their entire education on this campus, in this community, shaped by this approach.

That continuity is the point.

Construction updates

Construction begins

Phase 2 breaks ground on campus. Enkel begins production of laminated mass timber elements at their factory in northern Uruguay.

April 2026

Foundations and timber

Foundations are poured and the slab takes shape on site. Meanwhile, Enkel's CLT panels arrive from the factory — engineered mass timber beams that will form the building's structure.

Walls go up

CLT floor panels are laid across the slab and the first walls are tilted into place. Waterproofing and Rothoblaas membranes seal the foundations. The building's footprint is now visible on site.
