The “C.A.N.O.B Jorge B. Griffa Sports Services” building is developed in 2230 m2, of which 270 m2 are semi-covered spaces, a free ground floor, four multifunctional stories and a common use terrace.
The project, built in the “Bella Vista” premises was concluded in 2016. However, the initial project proposals began to develop at the architecture studio “La Fundación” in august 2012. At this point, nearly fifty projects and works related to the request were evaluated in order to determine the accurate forms of organization, and the functional, dimensional and spatial building connections needed. The building comprises nine clearly differentiated program items:
1.0. General Spaces

2.0. Management Spaces
These spaces take in activities related to the Services Building correct procedure, such as staff organization activities, purchases, occasional events and responding to the team requests. They are proposed in direct connection to the main entrance hall, trough the lodge.
3.0. Services Spaces

This area considers exclusive and independent access, verifying a clear connection to the outdoors, simplifying the reception of goods and supplies, as well as the exit of equipment and waste.

6.0. Sports management spaces
These spaces are destined to facilitate the proper development of sports planning tasks for the first team coach and his coaching staff.

Three different areas were proposed: a green area, linked with the parking lot, where a water retarder was located -a construction which avoids the rainwater saturation on the first team premises-; a play and encounter area (where two ping-pong tables were installed, a bocce court, benches and a minigolf); and, finally, a more playful and contemplative green space.
