The 16,000m2 roof area, measuring 289m long
and 95m wide (maximum), contains 4,024 photovoltaic panels that respond to the
future of clean, renewable energy. The roof shall be completed once the final
installation of the building is completed.
The façade is composed of a double-skin
structure of 8,000m2 each: the first a double-glazed interior curtain wall and
the second a laminated single-glazed exterior curtain wall, with a ventilated
void in between both skins. Within this void, attached to the interior skin,
are a series of motorized blinds that control the amount of natural sunlight
entering the building, and add tonalities of color to the façade. They will be
completed once the blinds are installed and functional.
Next July, the Leon Conference and Exhibition
Center will be open for use, following with a call for tenders by the City Hall
of Leon for an urban design project to create a new plaza that will provide
access to the building.
