EUITI University School- Mines
Bilbao, Spain
Project Featured on Jul 18, 2016
Located on the Technological Campus of the University
of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in Bilbao, this new building is in-keeping with
the remodelling of the University Campus within the “Campus of
International Excellence Program”, nominated by
the Ministry of Education in 2010 in
collaboration with the Université de Bordeaux
(France).
Due to the university’s request and to its strategic
location within the city, it is intended for this new building, which houses
the Mining, Civil and Industrial Technical Engineering Schools, to become an architectonic
reference thanks to its image by introducing
a modern, quality design in line with the Institution it
represents. For this purpose, apart from a very careful volumetric
composition which deals with the volume restrictions imposed by
the Development Plan, the logo designed by Eduardo Chillida has
been included in the façade design, in the perforated steel and golden double
skinned one, to be more precise.
Being a large
size and scale building in the city, with almost 45,000 built sq. meters and 10
stories high, the new building sets up a dialogue between architecture, its
sculptural volume and its plastic one, represented by the UPV/EHU logo, created
by Eduardo Chillida, which was designed with the authorization of his
Foundation. The exterior skin of golden perforated plate integrates the
Chillida logo and grants unity to the whole building, camouflaging its great
size. Furthermore, the building, being detached, seems divided by the black
breach that separates the two university schools.
Throughout the
whole design process, special emphasis was put in resolving the building as functional
and flexible a manner as possible. Hence, two longitudinally
functional corridors between supporting walls have been allocated
along the long façades. One of them, the northeast facing one, shelters the
classrooms and laboratories. The other, facing southwest and with smaller and
more controlled openings, lodges all the offices. In the centre of the building
there is a core of communication nuclei, toilets, building services and a patio
for lighting purposes, with orange coloured polycarbonate.
In total, the
building has 56 classrooms, 27 seminars, 7 study rooms, 238 offices for
teachers, 9 meeting rooms, 45 teaching laboratories and 26 research
laboratories apart from areas for managements, administration and services
(auditoriums, board rooms, library, cafeteria, dining rooms, postgraduate
classrooms, facilities and offices for technicians, etc.)
All the building
services have been designed taking energy efficiency into
account, and they have been engineered so that future maintenance investment
is kept to a minimum. Plus, bioclimatic criteria have
been present during their design, as well as in the architectonic one, thus
enhancing energy saving. Thus, the use of a rain-water reuse system,
sustainable lighting criteria, aero-thermal considerations and the installation
of low temperature boilers will allow for CO2 emissions to be reduced by almost
900,000 kg per year and a substantial saving in energy costs
