LEIA Building – Artificial Intelligence | UPC Barcelona
More than 1,670 m² of drylining systems over two floors
FIARCÓN delivered
FIARCÓN was the company responsible for the drylining systems in the LEIA building, the artificial intelligence centre of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), on Avinguda Diagonal in Barcelona.
The work comprised 1,372 m² of Knauf 600 × 600 mm suspended grid ceilings on Rockfon grid across two floors of the building, plus approximately 300 m² of additional drylining work.
Work carried out
The project included a range of technical solutions tailored to the requirements of the university spaces:
1,372 m² of Knauf 60 × 60 cm suspended grid ceilings on Rockfon grid, including hangers, levelling and adjustment.
Technical setting-out and ceiling layout, ensuring accurate distribution and alignment of the tiles.
Bulkheads and junctions, integrating different heights and construction details.
Interior plasterboard partitions.
Plasterboard wall linings, adapted to the needs of each space.
Continuous plasterboard ceilings in specific areas.
Project delivery
A key feature of this project was the team’s high productivity and the precision of the work.
The 1,372 m² of grid ceilings were installed in just 8 days by a team of 4 operatives, with efficient organisation and a steady pace across both floors.
At the same time, the additional partitions, wall linings, bulkheads, setting-out and continuous ceilings were completed, coordinating each solution with the building’s technical requirements.
The work stood out for its accurate levelling, grid alignment, quality junctions and careful finishes.
Result
1,372 m² of grid ceilings · ≈300 m² of additional work · 2 floors · 4 operatives · 8 days of ceiling installation
A project delivered with excellent finishes, high productivity and on-time completion, providing technical solutions suited to a demanding university environment.
This project strengthens FIARCÓN’s track record in public and institutional works, demonstrating its ability to deliver large drylining areas with speed, precision, organisation and reliability.
