Press release by Magén Arquitectos | September 24, 2025
‘Ágora Verde’ – by Magén Arquitectos – has won the competition for the vocational-training building of a digital campus integrated into the new Aragonese Technology District (DAT), along the Río Ebro university premises in Zaragoza.
The project was selected from a pool of eleven submitted. The jury particularly appreciated the design of the central atrium, thought out to foster encounters and interaction, built with timber and lit naturally through a stepped section, which frames the entrance to the building.
The proposal presents a clear-cut, efficient, and flexible layout, structured in a perimetral corridor surrounding a large central space for circulation and socializing. This core is formed by a stepped atrium-courtyard, which connects the building’s different levels diagonally and gives direct views of the landscaped roofs.
The building is to be equipped with cutting-edge technology, including robotics and additive manufacturing laboratories for 3D printing, an immersive room with virtual and mixed reality, a gaming classroom for designing videogames, hardware and electronics workshops, a small- format data center, and fourteen classrooms, twelve individual videoconference rooms for virtual training, and spaces for student and graduate entrepreneurship. The complex will also include three business incubators and a coworking area.
This new facility will allow relocating the digital vocational-training center from its current home in the Aragón Pavilion at Expo 92.
