The project is developed inside the La Maquinista school complex, a widely used facility in the Barceloneta district. Coverage and adaptation of the existing sports court, improvement of the changing room building and modification and segregation of the accesses to the different educational centres and the sports facility have been carried out. The access has been moved to a new public entrance space that incorporates and highlights the remains of industrial machinery from the old La Maquinista Terrestre i Marítima factory, an old railway material factory dating from the late 19th century. In this way, the chimney and the overhead crane, which until now were inside the facilities, now become part of the public space. Inside the sports facility you can see an old tank recovered from the subsoil during the foundation work of the project.

The project contemplates the improvement of the accesses to the La Maquinista school complex, the adaptation of the changing room building and the coverage of the track. To this end, a new access has been created with a partitioning system based on fences and an entrance space where we find the surveillance booth and the access lobby to the changing rooms.

The core of the action is the coverage of the existing sports court and its adaptation to current sports regulations. The dimensions of the existing sports court to be covered have been expanded to reach the dimensions of a multi-sports court (PP2 according to standards defined in 2005 and court double sports centre POL2 according to the Catalan Sports Council) of 44 × 22 metres, and the slope of the track has been modified up to 2% to adapt it to regulations. Finally, the new track has been dimensioned according to the measures required by the Catalan Sports Council, for a PAV-2 double sports pavilion (44×23 mts.), to enable a future track closure project.

The runway cover system is based on laminated timber frames, including the full web beam and the pillars. The pillars of the main structure are 24×40, while the pillars of the secondary structure are 15×30. The formation of the roof is carried out with the Finnforest Ripper system, made up of a set of microlaminated wooden belts, a top counter, and a top finish with a waterproof PVC sheet. The stability of the structure relies on the end frames that have a different design. The coverage system provided for in the project will comply with the regulations required for a light and exterior roof.

The coverage of the sports court, the porch that joins it with the changing rooms and the control and access booth, is made with a prefabricated floor with microlaminated wood joists and chipboard, Rippa system from Finnforest.

In the case of the track skylights, this slab is covered at the bottom with another chipboard, so that a smooth surface reflecting light is left. These have a 45º inclination in anticipation of a future location of photovoltaic panels on the roof of the building located on the 3 skylights with fixings on the iron roof, occupying an approximate area of 270 m2. A space is provided for the connection to the facilities cabinet for access to the enclosure.

The slope of the roof is 2% and is given by the structure of the main porticos, carrying the water towards the galvanised sheet gutters located on the long sides. There is a galvanized steel downspout for each portico, supported on the intermediate pillar. The access booth is resolved with a second chipboard placed on battens, which forms the slope so that all the edges are horizontal.

The waterproofing is done with PVC-P sheet reinforced with polyester mesh, type alkorPLAN F 35276, 1.5 mm. thick, placed on geotextile, and welded on a co-laminated plate from the same company on all edges. The visible aspect of this solution is given using different colours for each of the waterproofing bands, taking advantage of the entire range of greys of the standard manufacturing colours. To highlight the effect, extruded PVC profiles will be placed on top of the joints, in the direction of the slope. We will also find this finish in the entrance porches and access to the track, giving a pleasant image to the neighbourhood.
