The new museum, designed by architects Emilio Tuñón and Luis Moreno Mansilla, will stand in the centre of Madrid, just southwest of the Royal Palace, between the Plaza de la Armería and Almudena Cathedral. It will have a floor area of 46,000 square metres and will house a set of works of art, household goods, weapons, tapestries and other items that altogether constitutes the foremost royal collection in the world.

Department head José Antonio Bravo and construction manager Juan Carlos Villanueva gave students an in-situ explanation of how the process is going and what construction methods are being applied. Phase one ended in January with the containing walls and the preparation of the lot. The second phase of work, which is underway now, covers the building of the structure, which is designed to be made of white concrete with marble aggregate and cement of the same colour.

This master's degree programme gives architects and engineers a solid understanding of the construction sector (job organisation, management of construction companies, their strategies and their tools). FCC Construcción also participates in European University's Executive Programme in Construction Management.
