ROMERO POLO PRESENTS THE RENOVATION OF THE PALAU DE VIDRE IN LLEIDA

The temporary joint venture (UTE) formed by Romero Polo and Sorigué presented the renovation of the Palau de Vidre in Lleida. The event was attended by the Minister of Housing and Urban Agenda, Isabel Rodríguez, along with institutional and municipal representatives.

The intervention, launched in 2023 with a budget of 6 million euros, has modernized the Palau de Vidre, transforming it into an efficient building adapted to current uses. Key improvements include structural reinforcement, the installation of double glazing and new window frames on all façades, as well as roof repairs incorporating photovoltaic panels.

The project also included a complete overhaul of the building’s systems, with more efficient air-conditioning, properly insulated water and air ducts, a new electrical system, and fiber-optic installation to digitalize the facility. An integrated Building Management System (BMS) has been implemented to monitor energy consumption, climate control, and lighting, combining efficiency with advanced control. All the lighting in the building — including that of the exhibition hall — has been replaced with LED fixtures.

With these improvements, the building has been modernized for new uses: the ground floor remains dedicated to fairs and sports activities, while the first floor now includes a 200-seat conference hall, offices, coworking spaces, and a hub for local organizations.

The renovation of the Palau de Vidre, carried out by Romero Polo, establishes the facility as a benchmark in sustainability and energy efficiency, while reinforcing its role as a social, cultural, and economic driver for the city of Lleida.
