Abstract: Introduction: The article addressed the situation in Acacías following the riots of 2 May 2021, which caused serious damage to the Municipal Palace. Due to the partial destruction of the building and its limited space, the administrative offices were scattered throughout different areas of the municipality, making it difficult to provide services to citizens and for the institution to operate. Development: Faced with this problem, the municipal administration decided to relocate the Municipal Palace to a peripheral lot. However, this solution generated community discontent, as it increased the distance people had to travel to carry out procedures. Faced with this scenario, the project proposed redesigning the Palace in its original location, integrating all government offices in a single place. To this end, basic scientific principles and structural engineering principles such as statics, material resistance and current technical standards (NSR-10) were applied. In addition, modern technologies such as the portico system and BIM methodology were used to ensure safety, efficiency, and sustainability in the design. Conclusion: The proposal represented a comprehensive response to the social and technical problem, seeking to restore equitable access to administrative services, optimise municipal resources, and promote urban and commercial development in the centre of the municipality.
