Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya
- New build
- Refurbishment
- Sports
The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, also known as the Montmeló Circuit, is one of Spain’s most iconic motorsport venues. Located near Barcelona, it has been operating since 1991 and has become a key venue on the international motorsport calendar, hosting annual Formula 1 and MotoGP events.
The project involved renovating key areas of the facility – the medical centre, hospitality suites and podium – with the aim of optimising operations during events. The works, carried out without interrupting sporting activity, delivered a fully equipped medical centre, improved services for teams and sponsors, and a refreshed institutional image for the venue.
