The commission requires the construction of a Civic Center that brings together different sports and cultural uses. The main determinant of the site is the unevenness of 10 m. existing, which requires a large emptying so that indoor sports activities can be carried out at the same level.

In this way, the building is resolved with a single gesture, through a narrow and elongated portico. On the upper level, said portico is the threshold that gives access to the terrace on which a panoramic view of the Duero Valley is dominated.
Under the terrace the Civic Center building is developed, as well as the changing rooms and offices. Athletics activities are carried out at the same level, fragmenting the main volume by attaching volumes of greater or lesser height depending on the regulatory requirements of each specialty: speed, high jump, pole vault, etc.
The rest of the outdoor sports activities are dispersed towards the lower part of the site in a succession of descending platforms that follow the slope of the terrain.
