Contracting authority: University of Malaga
The work consists of the construction of a building to house the School of Industrial Engineering (ETSI), which includes the Polytechnic University School of the University of Malaga and where all the degrees in this branch of engineering are taught.
The complex consists of two buildings. The main building, which houses classrooms, laboratories, offices, administration, cafeteria and other common areas, and a separate building for practical workshops.
For the foundations and structure of the buildings of the School of Industrial Engineering, Sando uses the method of prefabricated piles ranging from 235 by 235 millimetres to 400 by 400 millimetres, reinforced concrete slabs with a depth of 135 centimetres and retaining walls along the entire perimeter of the basement. As the architect, Salvador Moreno Peralta, indicates in his description, the building is articulated on a longitudinal street, crossed by a body of common services (Assembly Hall, Graduate Studies, Library and Cafeteria) and marked out by vertical communication cores, chromatically identified, both internally and internally. Symmetry was avoided at all times and, with different formal and volumetric resources, has been avoided. The interior street is thus a transcript of a varied exterior street which, apart from fulfilling its distributive function, constitutes an element of relationship and encounter between the pupils.
Energy EfficiencyThe School of Industrial Engineering building is fully equipped with state-of-the-art basic facilities, management and control systems for all services, air conditioning, lighting, access, class scheduling, public address, voice and data, closed circuit television with IP cameras and a complete installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof.
Likewise, as a company specialising in sustainable construction, Sando integrates criteria of environmental responsibility and energy efficiency in the materials, systems and procedures it executes. As a result of this specialisation, the eco-efficient models designed for the air-conditioning and lighting of the facilities obtained the first energy efficiency classification in Andalusia, classified as type A.
