• Buildings: Built with modular construction system. Including: The Main building (Dressing rooms, VIP, Staff and Media areas) and All Auxiliary buildings (toilets, accesses, snack bars and medical centre).

Improvements

• Retractable roof: Mobile trusses with EFTE or PVC membrane. With the aim of improving the bowl thermal comfort.

• Air cooling system: Below the bleachers, also with the aim of improving the bowl thermal comfort.

• Architectural lighting: Double skin of metallic lattice and PVC fabric mesh. Including inside a decorative mapping lighting by LED. In order to increasing the singularity of the stadium.

• Sustainability: In order to improve the stadium value from an environmental point of view, measures are proposed such as: Design phase (climate, solar exposure, sun angles, prevailing winds, ecoregion, open and green space, site hydrology, floodplains, natural bodies of water, stormwater management, visual comfort, indoor air quality -natural ventilation system, thermal comfort, acoustic efficiency, Energy efficiency-PV solar system and use of raining water for consumption and irrigation of playfield).
