Programmatically, the Rectorship spans four levels and includes the press office, legal advisory, secretariat, meeting rooms, administrative offices, and a 200-seat auditorium. The design is inspired by the traditional Galician stone house-robust, elemental, and communal. These vernacular dwellings, with thick granite walls and whitewashed window and door surrounds, serve as the symbolic origin of the project. Reimagined at a larger, institutional scale, the Rectorate seeks to be “the house of all students.” The façade is clad in recycled Mondariz granite, sourced from off-cuts in local Galician quarries, making this project a pioneer in the reuse of this material. Around the windows, prefabricated white concrete elements reinterpret the whitewashed frames of traditional houses. These elements take the form of T-shaped surrounds, becoming a defining visual motif of the building’s architecture. Materials were carefully chosen to integrate with the overall campus language: rough-textured concrete and granite externally, and oak wood and plaster finishes inside, balancing durability with a sense of warmth. The Rectorship stands as a landmark of institutional identity, deeply rooted in its landscape and cultural context, embodying a contemporary reinterpretation of regional tradition.
