The F building :

This is the last of the 4 bldg to be restored. It is the less modified of all.
For public regulation we need to create a new escape stair and an elevator for handicaped people (that mean cutting these massive beams and supporting what's left on new foundations , 4 stories lower...big boxs!)
The cheminee will be kept as is. The zone used to be a plaster factory, gypsum was excavated on site and burnt to get the lime out(a common activity in this suburbs during the 19th century, but today this zone is considered as polution by technocrats, it has cost the state a small 400kE to remove the excess ground into specific disposable underground pits).
The F bldg use to be connected with the E bldg with a 4 storied walkway (the white surface), the princip is kept only on the 4th and 5th floor.
The entrance, a side street crossing the main lower boulevard, will be the main student entrance, accessible 24h a day (the best way to teach them to be workalcoolhic at the youngest stage of their education...)
In the courtyard one will enter the E bldg (on the left), the C building (from where the picture is shot) via a curved stair going around the cheminee and the D bldg throught stairs that leads to the garden court 1 level higher.
