The new dressing room building of the Barcelona City Police has two very clear starting goals. On the one hand, to complete and expand the wardrobe program of the Guàrdia Urbana and, on the other, to provide an independent and qualified space for the Canine Unit, which shares space with the current changing rooms. Due to its situation, the new locker room building can structure this space to improve both the access and the relationship with the other functional pieces. Looking for a good insertion of the new volume and an improvement of the quality of the whole, it is planned to preserve the powerful facade of the existing building and to formalize a new one, looking towards the adjoining building. In this way, the access from the car park is dilated to significantly improve the movement of the users of the building and of the schools that visit the Canine Unit. With this gesture, the changing room building maintains its access, while the Canine Unit has a new one through a courtyard of rest for the police officers and where the visits can be grouped in a timely manner.
