Due to the pandemic installed in our country at the beginning of 2020, the decision was made by the municipal government to adapt its facilities to the new normal. As a consequence of this situation, it is intended, above all, to guarantee the safety of both workers and users outside the facilities. In this way, we seek health solutions that minimize the impact of the virus on the relationships and procedures that will be carried out within the city council. To do this, we try to find the best design and technical options.
An example of this is forced ventilation to prevent the virus from staying in space as much as possible. Thus we generate a false metal ceiling where we locate the ventilation and air conditioning installations.
