Technical demands for a high-use, multifunctional facility

The Convention Center presented clear electromechanical challenges:

• The need for robust electrical and mechanical systems to support high-occupancy events and variable usage patterns.

• Requirements for thermal comfort, appropriate lighting, and efficient ventilation without compromising user experience.

• Integration of building systems within a sensitive natural environment, avoiding invasive or oversized solutions.

From standard solutions to electromechanical design driven by real use

S3 approached the project with a functional, use-specific design mindset, focusing on:

• Understanding the different usage scenarios of the center (conferences, meetings, events).

• Translating operational dynamics into clear electromechanical design criteria.

• Prioritizing efficiency, reliability, and long-term ease of operation.

This approach enabled a shift from generic solutions to a design aligned with the project’s real operational needs.

Comprehensive electromechanical design for the facility

S3’s scope included:

Electrical Design

• Electrical distribution systems and interior and exterior lighting.

• Capacity definition for high-attendance events.

• Safety, backup, and regulatory compliance criteria.

Mechanical Design

• HVAC and ventilation systems tailored to the building’s use.

• Focus on thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and reliable operation.

Technical Coordination

• Integration of the electromechanical design with architecture and other disciplines.

• Clear technical documentation for construction and future operations.
