Building designs from six renowned architects were received in response to our call for design ideas for a new building to be the permanent location of the Institute. In november 2008 a committee formed by members of IMDEA Software, the Madrid Regional Government, and external experts chose the winning design, presented by Estudio Lamela. Construction of this new building will begin shortly and will be ready when the Institute outgrows its current temporary location in a floor of the UPM CS Department.
