An "education city" which looks more to an "education center" opened in a new district of Angers

It looks like a jail. It has the name of a man whose world fame came from the number of years he was imprisoned. The Angers new "education city" Nelson Mandela, located in the new Saint-Aubin district has the appearance of an education center for persons facing a jail sentence. 

The height of the walls, the little size of the windows do not precisely give to the facility the face of something which inspires or stimulates mind openess to culture and neighbours. The surroundings burnt by the heat of August without trees and lawns give the pedestrians walking along the nearby road more fear than confidence.

It's not sure Nelson Mandela, the first post-apartheid South-African president, would have liked this unvoluntary tribute and it is not written teachers and pupils gathered in that school will not be able to contradict that first glimpse. The Nelson Mandela education city did its first "return to school" that month.About 15 classes till primary degree and a library, a school restaurant plus a "maternal leisures center" (?) and a day-nursery will be there. The building cost about 13 millions €.
