Previously,聽Acciona聽delivered the Rafael Gordillo Training Complex in Dos Hermanas, which features football pitches, shared dressing rooms, office space, a gymnasium, medical facilities and meeting rooms.聽聽
The development also included supporting buildings for maintenance and control, connected road infrastructure and urbanisation of the area.聽
This training facility was designed with an emphasis on sustainability measures,聽including bioclimatic features, natural ventilation, energy efficiency, water reuse systems and integration of renewable energy, aligning with Real Betis鈥檚 Forever Green environmental programme.聽
Acciona has also been responsible for constructing large-scale sports infrastructure elsewhere in Spain, such as Bilbao’s San Mam茅s Stadium and the training complex for Club Deportivo Tenerife.
