The space occupied by this new structure covers the entire width of the disused unit. The construction comprises parallel porticoes supported by a reinforced concrete slab superimposed onto the existing framework and divided into two areas. The open area contains the reception area and an events hall with views of the playing facilities. The other half is partitioned off to conceal the changing facilities. The new structure has no ceilings in most spaces. This way the original vaulted roof, from which the lighting elements hang, comes into play.
