On floors 0, 1 and 2, there are 2 rectangular areas measuring 220mx23m and 220mx30m, connected to each other by 4 perpendicular rectangular bodies. There are also 3 other areas perpendicular to the upper body, with plan dimensions of approximately 15mx45m and one measuring 40mx45m.. 

On floors 3, 4 and the roof, the building is formed by a rectangular horizontal body measuring 170mx15m to which 3 bodies are connected at the top measuring 16.5mx63m and 2 bodies at the bottom measuring 12mx25m. 

The structural solution adopted consists, in general terms, of a set of reinforced concrete pillars, arranged in a regular and orthogonal grid with spans of 7.50m in both directions, complemented by a set of reinforced concrete walls located, for the most part, in the stairwells, lifts and around some ventilation shafts. This set of pillars and walls supports the slabs of the different floors, which are generally solid and fungiform slabs. 

The exterior façade walls are made up of perforated masonry with external thermal insulation using the ETICS system (Cappotto type) or a ventilated façade with Alucobond-type composite cladding panels.
