The building
Built in a contemporary architectural style, the facility uses laminated timber, glass, and bush-hammered limestone to blend into the surrounding pine forest. It spans two floors. Outside, there is a landscaped garden and a recreation area with picnic tables, benches, and a children’s playground.
Close by lies Barranco de la Hoz. Located in Corduente.
