The Communication Faculty of the San Jorge University is located in the Villanueva de Gállego campus, situated on a small plain of 22 hectares. Its perimeter borders on the north by the path that joins Zaragoza and Huesca, at the east by a watercourse bordered by almond trees and path that separates it from a new plain at the west and at south with pines that overlook at the Gállego river’s rich lowland. The territory, that was basically arid and dry, with ochre colours of a land poor in water, changes to green and yellow colours, because of the agriculture that lets a hided river.
The “vegetal scene” that is a forest and in the limit of the tableland of the Gállego river, appears to be in the place where the different buildings of the university are installed. The buildings, specially the Communication Faculty, look towards the countryside of the Gállego rich lowland. The Faculty developed according to a clear sketch in which, multiple educational spaces for the classrooms are visible on arrival. These spaces, search for the most appropriate light (northeast). Entering the place, the visitor discovers the lobby, which organizes the rest of the rooms. The singular spaces open to the panorama. The strict order that the building shows at its entrance transforms itself in free and dynamic spaces that brings into view of the hillside landscape over the irrigated land. In the programmatic division of the building, the classrooms are grouped towards the teaching and sports campus while the workshops and the rest of the spaces create an opening to the scenery.
The Communication Faculty developed according to a formal sketch, thought to be like a simple piece of parallel pipe forms, over three floors, the longitudinal form is committed to the workshops, offices and more singular spaces such as the library, magna classroom and cafeteria, while the transversal form provides accommodation for the theoretical and simple classrooms. The access to the Faculty separates from the northeast facade, where the control and the space for wardens are positioned. Once in the interior, in the first floor, the space of the vestibule is the one that connects the different rooms. The cafeteria and annex services, the magna classroom (a diaphanous space with a capacity of approximately 185 people), a place for conferences, theoretical classes or projections and the administration zone, are located on the first ground. On the first and second floor the space of the lobby that appeared on the ground floor is now occupied with theoretical classrooms. The spaces on these floors that look at the landscape are the library and the workshops. On the fourth and last floor, the recording set, the audio cabins and their respective controls, video edition and audio edition rooms, are found.
