Positioned alongside a library by Álvaro Siza and a leisure centre by Fernando Tavora, Eduardo Souto de Moura's three-storey building is the final addition to a stretch of land between the Limia River and a new tree-lined public square. It is a multi-purpose pavilion with a very industrial, machine-like look. Huge aluminium pipes and services clad the upper walls of the building, intended to reference the nautical aesthetic of the Navio Hospital Gil Eannes, a 1950s ship that is anchored nearby and used as a museum. Meanwhile, the recessed ground-floor elevations are glazed to allow views through to the river. The plan of the building centres around a large multipurpose hall that can be used for sports, music performances, talks and other events.
