To end 2016, the Latin American University of the Cuernavaca campus asked us to completely change the image and comfort of its facilities in the waiting room of the clinic located within the university. For a long time it was an open area covered by a candle; weather conditions required a cover that protected users from the intense sun and at the same time did not accumulate heat.
After 3 weeks and in the time that the work was requested during their vacation period, MMATT Arquitectos managed to place a perforated ipr structure throughout the place, all this anchored to the existing building and reinforced with columns later lined with alucobond to give it a more modern and elegant image.
The polycarbonate cover of more than 180 m2 protects users thanks to an anti-reflective layer and in addition to that, 2 extractors were placed to keep the environment cool even if the city temperatures reach more than 35 °. Finally, and as a different touch, a green wall of more than 90 m2 was placed with an interspersed vertical grid.
The end result is a worthy space for both visitors and doctors and workers, an avant-garde space that is resistant to the passage of time and that reveals a new image for the Latin American university.
