University and nursery school FUB4, in Manresa
The FUB4 Educational Center is part of the University Campus of the Bages University Foundation, entirely designed by Manciñeiras/Parés architects associated with Manresa, a city in the interior of Catalonia.
The sustained growth of both students and activities experienced in recent years at the university has forced the launch of this new building, dedicated exclusively to the educational field, which will allow a reorganization of activities in the other facilities of the university campus, making them more efficient.
The new building, FUB4, is entirely dedicated to uses linked to education. Thus, it houses the teaching of official studies (CFGS and degrees), the continuous training of teachers and teachers of all educational stages, teaching innovation, the presentation of educational services, such as nursery or Labs 0-6 and 6-12, and pedagogical services for the educational community of the territory. It is conceived as a unique equipment, specialized in terms of its subject matter, but plural in terms of its type of uses and users.

The available site, previously occupied by a surface parking lot, is delimited by the CU+ University Clinic and the student residence, giving rise to a building of rectangular proportions, similar to the aforementioned, facing southwest on its short side. The proposed typological model is a consequence of the construction system with industrialized modules, which gives rise to a building with a central distributor corridor with classrooms on both sides. The volume is compact in shape, flexible in its uses and efficient.
The entire project has been carried out with a construction system of industrialized modules, made up of 33 units. These are developed by CompactHabit' according to its eMii-CS model, consisting of a hybrid structure, formed by a lower alveolate concrete slab with passive reinforcement, pillars and metal structure on the roof and lateral bracing. These modules are rigid enough to give global stability to the whole, assuming loads, horizontal wind and earthquake efforts.
The modules are developed in the factory and transported once completely completed by special transport for in situ placement. The transport and placement of these has been carried out in just 5 days. On site, the complex is coated with the material of exterior finish of sandwich panel with micro-nerved facade of hidden fixation. The optimization and reduction of construction times on site, in addition to the optimization and reduction of materials transport reduces the carbon footprint in construction, making the industrialized modular system a more sustainable construction system than the conventional one.
