This building, located on a lot of more than 41 hactares, close to the Corporation's main offices, is destined to research and development in the paper industry. The 32,700 m2 of constructed surface is occupied by laboratories, pilot plants, offices, library and dining room for its 560 employees. The building's three floors, with an irregular and staggered look, branch out around the center access and reception area, with the different functions being radially organized around this center core, thus permitting future expansion of the building in different directions. Flexibility was one of the main requisites and this has been satisfied by a pre-fabricated structure as well as by the exterior aluminum siding which can be dismounted and put back in place. In general, the architectonic layout successfully provides human characteristics to an eminently industrial building, making it very attractive and integrating it in the natural beauty of the rural area in which it is located.
