A campus open to all people

Both new buildings and renovations of existing buildings have been conceived with sustainability, occupant well-being and the impact of the building on the environment in mind. More than a dozen of the buildings that make up the campus today have been awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.

The Ciudad del Saber Master Plan contemplates the conservation of 60% of the campus as green areas. In addition, it promotes sustainable mobility with wide sidewalks for walking, dozens of bicycle racks in common areas, a charging station for electric vehicles and the ease of use of collective transportation through a transportation terminus, as an alternative to private transportation.

Of the 243 buildings originally received from the Clayton military base, more than 130 have been preserved and many of them have been successfully adapted for new community uses. Some examples include: The Athenaeum, the House Museum, the bowling alley and Building 104, headquarters of the Fundación Ciudad del Saber, which received LEED Platinum certification in the interior design category.

Ciudad del Saber constantly and nimbly explores the use of mixed-use spaces, incorporating lessons learned from more than two decades of campus management, as well as anticipating the needs of users. Priority is given to the use of ready-to-occupy spaces with areas that invite collaboration, are easily adaptable and always with a sustainable approach.
