The University of Granada assigns LIFE Wood for Future researchers space in the emblematic San Isidro de la Vega de Granada sugar mill.

LIFE Madera para el Futuro researchers will be the first to be installed in the new spaces of the BIC industrial building of the San Isidro Sugar Factory. This is an emblematic building where the white revolution, or beet revolution, began in the Vega de Granada, which had 14 similar sugar factories throughout the province of Granada at the end of the 19th century.

The UGR plans to include in the Sugar Factory the Structural Wood Research Unit of Andalusia (UIMA), the headquarters of the Poplar Producers Association of Granada (Marjal), a Poplar Museum, and an industrial space for public-private collaboration for the possible location of a sawmill and an industry of poplar and poplar and pine laminated beams (MCLam product developed in the project) as a Spin off of the UGR.
