Sando Construcción will carry out the project to extend the Arrupe Centre for the Society of Jesus, working in the pastoral space of the Portaceli Church and the Arrupe Centre in Seville.
The work consists of creating two new buildings, which will be linked by a footbridge, maintaining a free space between them to house a landscaped square within the plot, Plaza Arrupe. The total built-up area consists of 1,259.95 square metres, with work on the buildings to modify their layouts, finishes and qualities.
In the execution of this project, Sando Construcción puts its experience in the construction of sustainable infrastructures at the service of the Society of Jesus to provide the Jesuit project in Seville with new functional and efficient spaces adapted to their needs, allowing them to take advantage of their full potential.
According to the project, brick will be used for the construction due to its honesty and versatility, both for the existing brick in the façade pilasters and the current Arrupe Centre and in the new proposal, and concrete for its structural and technological features.
Gardens and vegetation will be fundamental in designing the new Arrupe Centre and its surroundings. The articulation and spatiality of the building will result from Sustainability criteria and the position of the existing or new trees to be incorporated.
Specialisation in educational buildings
As a company specialising in sustainable buildings, Sando Construcción has a business line dedicated to constructing this type of building. Through the hospitality and education business line, the company implements a planning, design, construction, and maintenance process specifically tailored to the needs of this type of public building.
The functionality of these buildings depends on a balance between the different aspects of the project. It requires the establishment of synergies between the different multidisciplinary teams involved.
With this objective in mind, the professionals involved in the different actions in this type of building have a high level of specialisation that ensures the implementation of demanding standards of quality and excellence in the work carried out. Proof of this is the recent projects carried out by Sando Construcción, such as the Seville Campus of Loyola University. This sustainable and avant-garde building integrates circular economy and energy efficiency techniques in its facilities.
