In order to verify the progress of the infrastructure work being carried out in the province of García Rovira on the new university campus of the UIS Málaga campus, a follow-up technical visit was made to the project.
During the visit, fundamental aspects of the construction process were evaluated, with emphasis on compliance with quality standards, architectural planning and execution times.
Engineer Iván Rojas, head of the UIS Physical Plant and supervisor of the work, highlighted the scope of the project and its importance for the region.
“It is a work of 13,700 square meters, composed of seven modules that include auditorium, laboratories, classrooms, administrative spaces, library and also a veterinary clinic. It is a project that will be a social lung, a lung of culture and an educational lung not only for Malaga, but for the entire region. It is designed for the university community, but its impact will strengthen all sectors of the territory,” she said.
For engineer Sandra Díaz, coordinator of the UIS Malaga Campus, this work will not only transform the physical environment of the university, but also projects a new horizon for the academic, scientific and social development of the region.
