Text description provided by the architects. The Unidad de Innovación, Aprendizaje y Competitividad (UIAC) of the Universidad Iberoamericana at León is an academic building that houses workshops, classrooms and laboratories. Its structure consists of a series of identical concrete frames that contain a double height space. The frames have extensions at 45 degrees on the west facade and the roof; they work as both downspouts and brise-soleils that produce different lighting effects throughout the day. Inside, the main area has an atrium that runs along the building, with concrete slabs on the sides hanging from steel beams.
