The ULatina of Costa Rica, with the mission of having innovative, iconic, and top-level infrastructure, held a private contest to develop its new building at the main campus in San Pedro. From our perspective, the iconic goes hand in hand with innovation, sustainability, the creation of biophilic environments, and in this specific case, the creation of an educational space with a vision for the future. With this end in mind, a dynamic project is proposed, with multi-use spaces that offer students different study environments adapted to the digital and multidimensional world.
Mass Timber
This innovative proposal will be the first large-scale building in Costa Rica with its entire structural system in composite wood (mass timber); integrating last generation laminated wood and CLT.
We see composite wood as the material for the future, as it is a regenerative natural resource, recyclable, and contributes to carbon fixation and ecological regeneration. By using wood as the primary material, the project is outlined as a campus oriented towards the future.
We propose to make an immediate jump to this innovative construction system, without waiting for the usual speed with which construction technologies reach our countries. Using this construction system means taking a technological leap, from the development of small buildings and houses to the construction of a large-scale academic institutional building with a challenging and unique structural expression.
