The new headquarters of the IESE Business School of the University of Navarra is a project carried out by the Madrid studio, Sancho-Madridejos Architecture Office led by Sol Madridejos and Juan Carlos Sancho. The new facilities are located north of the Casa de Campo in the city of Madrid.
The new Business School is an extension of the IESE campus and is made up of two parallel volumes linked together by an exterior-interior transition space, characterized by a large fold in the form of a spectacular dome between the two buildings, with interesting outdoor community spaces directly related to the nearby nature.

Sancho-Madridejos's design was built together with other pre-existing buildings. The complex is made up of two independent volumes with differentiated programs that join below ground with the parking areas and installations of different types and above ground, through the formation of a large atrium, formed by a conical vault that generates a space with different perspectives and sensations.
The morphology of each volume responds to a specific program, the main volume provides a solution to a multidisciplinary space in which most of the activities will be carried out, while in the second volume there is a semi-buried auditorium.
The structural scheme depends on the response given to the different uses that the spaces accommodate, responding with arches and vaults of different materials, whether wood, concrete or stone, resolved with a clear structural logic for each one of them. The spatial richness is favoured by the arrangement of these spaces at different levels, generating sensations of weightlessness and spatial continuity.

Description of project by Sancho-Madridejos
The new buildings are located within the campus as a complement to an existing building. On a plot of land planted with pine trees, the new buildings are proposed to structure the existing buildings and generate a new order for the entire campus, both in terms of location and operation and in terms of representation. The actions carried out, therefore, propose the total reorganisation of the Campus, its routes and circulations, the relations between the pieces and the treatment of the exterior areas.
The whole programme is articulated around an exterior covered ATRIO, with a stone vault, with a system of 777 pieces of 250 kg parameterised and mechanically fitted together, which acts both on a symbolic level, as an access point to the building, and as a meeting point. This ATRIO divides two areas: The Auditorium, with independent access and operation, and the volumetric area of Classrooms, Rooms and Teachers' Offices, plus the cafeteria-dining room.
The Auditorium is buried from the access plane and is covered with a wooden vault whose forms, as well as acoustic, come from providing a structural solution. The wooden vault is not hung but presents the structural forms necessary for its correct mechanical work. The perimeter of the Auditorium is open to the Campus, giving weightlessness to the dome.
The longitudinal volume is lined longitudinally with courtyards at different levels and a longitudinal access porch that ends in the ATRIO. Different situations of a concatenation of compressed or vertical spaces accompany the route, at the same time as the different functions of the building are combined.
