Unicaja has recently carried out the complete renovation of the lighting system of its headquarters in Oviedo, located in the Plaza de la Escandalera. This building is closely linked to the life of this city, which now incorporates modern lighting that enhances its architecture with low-consumption solutions.
This initiative responds to Unicaja's interest in improving the aesthetics of the building, its commitment to sustainability through the reduction of energy consumption, and the revaluation of the urban environment where the bank maintains an active and continuous presence.
The bank is also finalizing the restoration of the clock in the tower of the building, with maintenance work to update its mechanism and ensure its correct functioning.
The new lighting in the building, which has been in operation since last week, has led to an improvement in energy efficiency, with a significant reduction in electricity consumption of 74%.
With LED lights with RGB technology, this new system enables dynamic lighting scenes, allowing color to adapt to significant events.
This intervention reaffirms Unicaja's commitment to the responsible modernization of its infrastructure, respecting the value of such an emblematic building and actively contributing to the beautification and sustainability of the urban space.
Clock remodeling
In addition to the lighting, the clock on the façade of the building has also undergone an intervention to improve its mechanism.
The work, carried out by the specialized company NOVAC, consists of restoring the external parts and the internal bearings in order to update it and ensure its correct operation.
The clock has a significant importance for the people of Oviedo, since, in addition to the chimes to mark the time, every hour it emits the anthem of Asturias.
History of the building
Unicaja's main building in the Plaza de la Escandalera was built in the mid-twentieth century by architect Julio Galán Gómez to house the headquarters of the Caja de Ahorros de Asturias.
Located in the center of Oviedo, near Uría street and Campo de San Francisco, the building stands out for its neoclassical style with baroque elements and for the height of its tower, crowned by the symbolic clock.
