The main seat of the school, which housed the local Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Agriculture and Artisanship from 1863 and afterwards another high school (Istituto Luigi di Savoia), is under restoration due to damage from the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake, so all the classrooms have been temporary relocated in other buildings, such as a wing of Chieti's seminary, which had been rented to release overcrowding.
