The old school building of NPS was an 'L-shaped wooden structure' that stretched from the 'convento' to the old quadrangle. The first classrooms and offices were part of the parish convent. The old buildings, however, have been replaced by concrete ones.
THE OLD BUILDING
The old building of NPS was attached to the Cathedral Convent. The current reception area of the convento used to be a classroom and an office. The groundfloor of the main building was made of concrete materials while the upper portion was made of wooden materials.
