Stated by a 1999 competence, the purpose of the University was to give the School of Civil Engineering a building capable of accommodating different academic and institutional activities. The generous dimensions of the plot gave us the opportunity of designing a two-storey building, which thus allowed us to define a simple and flexible layout as well as to save circulation spaces. Therefore, the latter areas transcend their mere original use and turn into meeting areas inside the School. The research departments take a “shed” type section provided with natural light from the south and an industrial aspect and classrooms are east oriented, with clear view to the river. During 2005 the Development of the Executive Project was made. The major changes to the original project were the structural resolution of the laboratories, now covered by a folded concrete slab, and the replacement of the vertical brise-soleil in the main façade by a horizontal arrange of double-height windows which go along with the furniture of the classrooms.
