This industry reached the peak of its development in the 19th century with the arrival of the steam engine and the new mechanical looms.

The school's main building was one of the first works of Lluís Muncunill and was characterized by the influence of a historicist style.

The main hall, which gives direct access to the classrooms, the library, and other rooms, is supported by steel columns and there is a bust of the founder of the school, Alfonso Salonsa.

According to the project of Josep Domènech i Mansana, two perpendicular naves were added to the ends of the original building that had the initial use of workshops.
