Cereal Innovation Center, Navarra, Spain
The Cereal Innovation Center is a facility promoted and managed by ESPIGA I+D, part of the Caja Rural de Navarra group, dedicated to applied research and technological development (R&D&I) across the entire cereal value chain.
It is not a production center, but rather an innovation hub designed to strengthen the cereal processing sector through science, technology, specialized training, and collaboration.
The building presents a compact and clean appearance, characterized by rectangular and cubic volumes that project outward and interlock with one another.
The façade is sober and solid, devoid of unnecessary decorative elements, conveying a functional and contemporary aesthetic. Located within a leisure-oriented industrial park, the building shelters itself from its immediate surroundings through opaque façades on the ground floor.
On the first floor, openings and windows are oriented toward the surrounding cereal fields and nearby hills, avoiding direct exposure to the urban environment. Its white metal envelope symbolizes the technological processes and food-safety research carried out within.
The project is organized into a single two-storey volume. The ground floor houses the technical areas and workshops dedicated to research and development, as well as the main entrances.
The first floor accommodates laboratories, meeting rooms, and administrative offices.
Both floors are arranged around a central landscaped courtyard that acts as the building’s functional and organizational core. On the ground floor, the building appears closed to the exterior except at the entry point.
On the first floor, it opens in all directions, with large windows to the north and south that allow natural light, cross ventilation, and views toward the rural landscape.
