What is the name of the schools building Gaudí designed for the Sagrada Família?

The story behind the answer

The schools building Gaudí designed for the Sagrada Família is the Sagrada Família Schools.

Antoni Gaudí designed the small building in 1909 to educate children of workers constructing the basilica, although children from the surrounding neighborhood also attended. Its Catalan name is Escoles de la Sagrada Família, reflected by the English title used in the stored answer.

The building is notable for its practical, undulating form. Gaudí used layered brick construction to create curved walls and a wave-like roof that was light, economical and structurally strong. It originally contained three classrooms, a hall and a chapel, with additional outdoor teaching areas.

The schools were inaugurated on November 15, 1909. They suffered severe damage during the Spanish Civil War, were reconstructed, and were relocated in 2002 to the southern corner of the Sagrada Família site. It is therefore sometimes confused with a temporary work building, but it was specifically designed as a school.
