The Millennium Dome is a space in Valladolid next to the river Pisuerga, with multiple options in regard to the activities that can be held in its interior, such as concerts, conferences, exhibitions, shows and advertising and sports events. It was built by the Barcelona-based architect Enric Ruiz Geli for Expo Zaragoza 2008, and subsequently acquired by the city of Valladolid as a multipurpose building. This dome covers the pavilion with a surface of almost 1,700 m² and has underground parking for 402 vehicles, a cycle lane and a restaurant.
This polyvalent space with an architecture that is as striking as it is eye-catching was air conditioned by Imtech with a system comprising two heat pumps that produce cold or hot water, used by a further two air conditioners to cool or heat the air impelled into the facility via a network of nozzles located in the perimeter. Its steel frame is sheathed in white hexagonal panels made of a multiple-ply, ETFE fabric membrane that allows natural light to go in, but heat to get out. The dome design allows to change color by lighting.
