The Governing Board has awarded the rehabilitation works of pavilions 1 and 2 of the Artillery Barracks so next summer the municipality of Murcia will have a new space where to create, develop, disseminate and promote culture.
The remodeling works will begin with the pavilion 1, the largest of the set of the six that make up this space, with an area of ​​2,968 m2 distributed between the ground floor and two more heights.
Here it is planned to empty the building by removing partitions and compartments, restoring the facades (preserving their original materials, ornamentation, carpentry and holes), repairing the balustrades of the balconies and the roofs, as well as removing the sanitation downspouts and visible wiring.
As for the Pavilion 2, whose ground floor has been reopened with the programming of a dense calendar of cultural activities, the 2,256 m2 of the ground floor, first and second floor will be rehabilitated.
In this space the facades are going to be restored, although here we will pay special attention to the moldings and azulejos tiles of Moorish inspiration.
It is planned to reinforce the structure, increasing its load capacity, increasing the thickness of the pillars and having archaeological supervision, both in the dismantling phase and in the demolitions.
These works will make it possible to fully recover for the city an extensive space dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of cultural events, providing it with an adequate infrastructure and powerful cultural equipment that favors artistic creativity throughout the municipality.
Currently, the Artillery Barracks enclosure hosts the Río Segura Municipal Library, the Museum and the UMU Aquarium, the Professional Conservatory or the Cendeac and Párraga centers.
The works have been awarded for an overall budget of 3,148,264 euros (1.7 million for pavilion 1 and 1.4 million for pavilion 2), and will be co-financed by 80% by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) within the framework of the Operational Program for Sustainable Growth 2014-2020, with the DUSI Strategy.
The proposed contractor is the UTE formed by Orthem Servicios y Actuaciones Ambientales SAU - Wenceslao García Pintura y Decoración SA
