Youth Factory – Merida Spain

Pretty cool concept the regional Government and community designers have put to work in Merida Spain. They have named the area the “Youth Factory” or “Factoria Joven” and it looks like an amazing outlet for youths to burn off some steam or get creative in a safe environment, instead of the back streets of Spanish cities.

There is also a computer lab and dance studio, both 800 square meters in size. What do you think?
