Calpe Town Council has begun work to modify and improve access to the administrative building located at Avenida Puerto de Santa María, 7, which houses the offices of the Department of Social Welfare and the headquarters of the Calpe-Ifac Music Union. With this action, the Council is continuing with the agreement reached with the musical organisation and is moving forward with adapting the building to the accessibility requirements of a public facility.
The works have a budget of €111,911.40 excluding VAT and a completion period of three months from the signing of the site survey report, formalised on 15 December 2025. The contract covers the comprehensive renovation of the entrance and the affected common areas, with the aim of ensuring an accessible and safe route for users of the building.
The intervention represents a substantial improvement in the conditions of access to the building, in compliance with current regulations for public buildings. The works include the adaptation of the access level, the redistribution of spaces on the ground floor, the adaptation of construction elements and the improvement of safety and accessibility conditions, which will allow for more comfortable and functional use for both Social Welfare users and members of the Musical Union.
This action is part of the process that began in August 2024 with the notarised signing of the exchange of land between the Town Council and the Calpe-Ifac Musical Union, which allowed the layout of the building to be adjusted and made the future renovation of the entrance possible. The agreement provided for the exchange of 50.02 m² on the ground floor owned by the Musical Union for 70.03 m² on the first floor owned by the municipality, in order to facilitate the adaptation of the building for administrative and social use.
Calpe Town Council points out that improving this access is a key step in the complete refurbishment of the facilities, so that both the Department of Social Welfare and the Unión Musical have more accessible, modern premises that are adapted to the current needs of the service and the cultural activity of the municipality.
