RACE completed the refurbishment of the iconic Portugal Pavilion from Expo 98, now transformed into a revitalized space designed to serve culture, science, and higher education. This project, commissioned by the University of Lisbon and coordinated by the Álvaro Siza 2 – Arquitecto, S.A. studio under the direction of architect Álvaro Siza Vieira, fully respected the original design of the building while adapting it to the University’s new academic and institutional requirements.

The project represented a demanding technical challenge, in which RACE applied all its expertise and experience, ensuring high standards of quality, precision, and respect for architectural heritage. The result is a modern and functional space, equipped to host conferences, exhibitions, and national and international visitors, further reinforcing the Portugal Pavilion’s role as a landmark center in Lisbon and across the country.
