Renovation Case of Rio Negro Factory in Colombia

In Rio Negro, Colombia, a landmark vaccine production and processing plant, the VaxThera vaccine plant, was completed in 2024. The plant covers an area of 35,000 square meters and has an annual production capacity of 100 million doses of vaccine. It is an important breakthrough in Colombia's pharmaceutical field, aiming to strengthen national health sovereignty and become a scientific research center in Latin America.

In this factory renovation, the innovative application of translucent sheets has become a highlight. The project uses translucent white sheets with a corrugated size of 1130 and a thickness of 2.0 mm. Its characteristics and advantages are fully demonstrated in the renovation:

Excellent optical performance: The translucent characteristics of the sheet achieve the effect of "light transmission but not see-through", which not only ensures indoor privacy, but also makes the indoor illumination uniform through soft light diffusion, avoiding the discomfort of direct sunlight. Its aesthetic value is particularly prominent, and it can present rich color changes from different angles, adding dynamic beauty to the factory space.

Strong adaptability: The board can flexibly adapt to the needs of updating the facade of old buildings. Its corrugated structure enhances the strength and stability of the board while maintaining a light visual effect. This feature is highly consistent with the renovation concept of the factory to retain its industrial characteristics.

Functionality and aesthetics: The board not only enhances the visual appeal of the building, but also provides practical functions such as sunshade, heat preservation, and ventilation. The translucent white appearance allows the building to show a simple and modern aesthetic style while maintaining its industrial charm.

Through the application of translucent boards, this renovation successfully created a "light and hazy" dream space experience for the factory, which not only retained the historical traces of industrial heritage, but also gave it a new era of scientific connotations. The completion of the VaxThera vaccine factory is not only a leap in Colombia's pharmaceutical capabilities, but also a model for the revitalization and utilization of industrial architectural heritage, showing the unique value of translucent materials in factory renovation.
