The centre was built on site of 44,000 sq/m and was designed by Dominique Parnet, a well known French architect. It can accommodate a pupil role of 350, with pupils having a variety of special needs. The building contains a wide range of state-of-the-art facilities for pupil education, teacher training, sports and recreational activities, and a clinic.

Residential facilities are designed to accommodate more than 150 pupils and teachers. All in all, the AMSEC represents a model of provision for special children in a rural area where previously there was a void.
