A new outdoor meeting space: IDIAPJGol opens a new terrace

The project has been done in response to the need to have outdoor meeting spaces arising during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, it can also be used as a fresh work space or for recreational and resting activities.

A group of IDIAPJGol workers organized to propose sustainability-level improvements to the Institute. The group, called Green-IDIAP, saw on this terrace of the corporate building of the headquarters a usable and multifunctional space. Although its main purpose is to be an outdoor gathering place, taking advantage of the Barcelona climate, it is a space where meals can also be made at noon and it is also a relaxation space for professionals. Given the building's cataloguing as historic, with the constraints that this implies, this reform has been done with structures that can be removed and stored. In addition, furniture and the plants chosen respect sustainability criteria.

 

The terrace has space for 25 people and is already available to enjoy these autumn days.
