The resistant structure of the central metal roof consists of trusses separated every 9.00 meters, which support on reinforced concrete pillars with rectangular section of 0.60x0.60 m in all the porticos except in the front that are circular of 0.90 m in diameter; said pillars are considered embedded in the footings.
The perimeter wall of concrete blocks has been designed with buttresses every 5 meters, armed with the same blocks, to give it resistance against the action of the wind.
