The building

Characteristics of the building

The building is located next to the Lascaray Ikergunea Research Centre and has a underground car park, on the ground floor, with a surface area of 3,194 m2. The rest of the building, with a total surface area of 5,814 m2, is divided into four levels with four different spaces.

The development of the project regarding this building has been carried out under the eco design regulations UNE-EN 14006, through traditional and innovative building systems. In this case the CLT wooden panels have been used as external casing for the facade and the structure is made of reinforce concrete. The ventilated facade is finished with some corrugate polymer concrete panels. Besides, the warmth of the wood has been used for the design of interior spaces. Natural lighting also plays a significant role in this building, thanks to the interior patios and the curtain wall of the rear facade.
