TABAKALERA, SAN SEBASTIÁN SPAIN
Transforming a tobacco factory into a major Cultural Centre
The challenge
Tabakalera used to be a tobacco factory, but to celebrate San Sebastián’s role as Capital of European Culture 2016, it was transformed into a massive new Centre for Contemporary Culture.
But it’s a huge building, and the aim was to create 30,000 m2 of space for exhibitions, cinemas, media archive and even a hotel. The whole project cost over €50 million.
The whole purpose of the building changed and so new floors, new interior areas and a totally new glass roof was built.
The ceilings were made out of lots of different materials, such as old steel beams, as well as hollow slabs, composite slabs and traditional concrete slabs.
Our Hilti solution
We solved this by using our Hilti MQ System to support all the necessary technical installations and we supplied more than 14,000 metres of our Hilti MQ channel system.
Our Hilti direct fastening technologies were used to fasten the channel system directly to steel structures and our Hilti HUS screw anchor for fastening in concrete.
After four years of construction, the Tabakalera opened in 2015, well in time for San Sebastián’s year as Capital of European Culture.
