The Industrial School opens a renovated auditorium

The Industrial School preserves various heritage jewels, such as the unprecedented octagonal chimney of 61 meters or the Clock Tower from when it had been a textile factory. Others are from the beginning of the 20th century, when the Diputació de Barcelona located the school that gave it its name (despite the fact that in the beginning it was called Escuela de Trabajo). There were several interventions, one of the last being by the architect Joan Rubió, who between 1927 and 1931 carried out the construction of the central naves, and also of a spectacular auditorium that was never finished and that the convulsed 20th century left unprecedented.

Now it is reborn as a polyvalent space of technology, without forgetting something as fundamental as the acoustics, the sound isolation, the new illumination (the great central structure goes down to the ground), and looking at all times at the versatility.
