Contracting authority: Radio Televisión Española (RTVE)

The project for the new regional centre of Radio Televisión Española (RTVE) in Castilla y León aims to unify the headquarters of Radio Nacional de España in Valladolid and Televisión Española in Laguna de Duero. This will solve the problems of obsolescence of the latter’s facilities and achieve a cost-optimised building that improves operability.

The project consists of the construction of a new two-storey building of 1,800 square metres, built on a plot of 4,072 square metres, already urbanised and located in the urban centre of the city of Valladolid.

The building will have an outdoor covered car park, a television set of about 150 square metres, three radio control-location units, one of which will capture images for television, two video editing booths and two voice-over booths.

On the ground floor of the building, surface foundation works will be carried out on cyclopean concrete shafts, followed by the construction of a prefabricated concrete structure, a hollow-core slab floor, prefabricated concrete perimeter walls, and a double-skin composite facade. Likewise, an interior brick facade will be installed on the ground floor, along with external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS), and aluminum window and door frames. Inside, office partitions specific to the corporation and raised access flooring will be installed.

A sustainable certified building. With the aim of integrating sustainability in building, new construction adopts measures in line with the VERDE Certification (Reference Efficiency Rating for Buildings), issued by the Spanish Council for Sustainable Building.

Among these measures, it is worth highlighting the installation of air conditioning under energy efficiency criteria, applying a VRV system and a primary air conditioner associated with an aerothermal system for the building’s domestic hot water. In addition, the rest of the installations also integrate solutions aimed at the certification of the 5 green leaves applied in the transformation centre, low voltage, lighting, fire prevention, BMS, telecommunications and a photovoltaic park.

With the execution of this project, Sando is deploying its expertise in energy and sustainable building solutions, providing RTVE with a new space in Valladolid with renovated and environmentally responsible facilities.
