Academia Atlas, the new home for Atlas FC in Jalisco, features 6 football fields, clubhouses, sports science facilities, and offices, designed to support young players from underprivileged backgrounds. The seven-hectare site, transformed into a collegiate-style campus, includes an 8,300-sqm building with modular design, open-air voids, and a brise-soleil roof for adaptability. Shaded external spaces and multifunctional spectator seating enhance fluidity between interior and exterior. The red monochromatic color scheme ties into Atlas FC's identity and the use of traditional Mexican brick.
