In an era of permanent change, changes of use, technological or simply hierarchical changes, the most difficult challenge was to design a flexible and modular container.

The building was designed in zones: longitudinal strips for offices and at the ends the larger spaces such as classrooms or laboratories. An eccentric courtyard that gives light to the general foyers on all floors and breathes through the open terrace on the fifth floor. The offices have a north-south orientation and the west façade has a solar shading system with graduated louvres using a sensor.

Technical floors and ceilings, prefabricated vertical partitions for possible subsequent transformations and façades with natural stone cladding. The excess of the plot and the slopes were used to place the access ramps to the basements on the outside so that, inside, the entire space could be used. The access was resolved laterally, leaving a large porch on the west front of the building, which would be at a lower level than the street, to give a sense of elevation above the ground.
