The building is located on one of the boundaries of the campus of the Jaume I University of Castellón, which fronts onto two perpendicular streets of the university campus itself.

The perpendicular lines of the streets organise an L-shaped building on the ground plan, which allows for a brick exterior, like the rest of the constructions on the campus, and an interior with natural earthy paints. This interior is intended to be bright and festive, in a clear reference to the vernacular architecture of the Levant.
