The Zócalo building is one story high and located along the site's entire edge towards Ramón Picarte Avenue. On its roof, there are different stairways and terraces that connect the upper level with the Humedal Square through a public walkway, access to the regional library, and the Calle-Calle River. The project's entire extension program and public access areas are located in this area. The location of the storage rooms and archives in the center of the project and on the tower's upper floors provides a high level of care and preservation for the pieces and documents of heritage value.
