Project description by Rodriguez Blanco Arquitectos
The project starts from a small disused educational center that grows considerably with new volumes and spaces. Although there are common conditions in both uses, the new center completes the needs program with new spaces not available in the previous equipment, especially a large multipurpose room.
The primitive pavilion is completed incorporating new pieces that conform a building with plant in "U", so that they appear two wings articulated by a zonacentral of reception that easily orders the operation of the center.
In the existing pavilion, the lecture hall program is organized, in the new pavilion the large multipurpose room is located, and the center is located in the entrance and administration.
This arrangement generates a courtyard protected by the building itself, where you can develop outdoor activities that complete the center's offer.
In addition to the classrooms, multipurpose room and administrative area, as a care center, the necessary dining spaces, nursing room, administrative areas, computer rooms and adapted toilets meet.
