Univalle University - Santa Cruz

OBJECT A cutting-edge university campus looking toward the future, located in one of Bolivia’s most dynamic and fast-growing cities:
the new headquarters of the Universidad de Univalle in Santa Cruz is an ambitious project
where architecture, technological innovation, and performance come together.

Aliva managed the integrated design of all rainscreen system
and defined the cladding schedule (abaco), providing a comprehensive mix of tailor-made solutions:
Ali K20 substructure, a custom substructure dedicated to the installation of metal meshes,
and the Alu.covering rainscreen system with extruded aluminum cladding.

In a tropical climate context, characterized by high humidity and strong environmental stress,
the choice of materials and substructures, all made from EN AW-6060 T6/T64 aluminum alloy (AlMgSi),
required careful engineering.
In particular, the use of Alu.covering – its first application in Bolivia – demonstrates the system’s
ability to adapt to harsh atmospheric conditions while ensuring performance, durability, and aesthetic impact.

With this project, Aliva strengthens its international presence in the university building sector,
offering multidisciplinary expertise and tailor-made solutions for next-generation ventilated façades.
