MADRID-CHAMARTÍN-CLARA CAMPOAMOR:
Ecosistema Abierto
The Madrid-Chamartín Clara Campoamor station will culminate its transformation as a benchmark
for sustainable, multimodal, connected and integrated mobility. The Chamartín Ecosistema Abierto (Open Ecosystem) project was created by the winning team made up of UNStudio, b720 Arquitectura and Esteyco. They won the most ambitious international competition held in Spain in decades against the world's leading engineering and architecture firms.
The proposal defines three architectural elements that work together to create optimal conditions for the development of the station and its surroundings:
- The terraces of the park, which emerge as a natural extension of the future Central Park
- The recovery of the vaults of the southern sector
- The towers (including three buildings that are 110m, 160m and 220 m high and the new headquarters of Adif), which will house an environmental development project and the business center.
Madrid-Chamartín Clara Campoamor is advancing as a strategic node in the process of liberalizing rail passenger transport. It will be a world benchmark for sustainable, multimodal, intelligent and integrated mobility by becoming an intelligent ecosystem based on the five pillars of sustainability, focused on the use of natural and recycled materials; circularity to achieve a closed cycle of the carbon footprint; responsible consumption and management of water through smart solutions and the recovery of rainwater; and the generation and use of energy through photovoltaic solar collectors on most of the covered surface. In addition, the proposal incorporates measures to guarantee extended universal accessibility, which facilitates the inclusiveness and integration of all social groups.

Functionality, flexibility and optimal flow dynamics
The proposal presents a marked railway functionality, through two multipurpose terminals, which can be used flexibly: for passenger departures and arrivals, for the use of different railway operators and destinations, and in accordance with how the railway complex evolves. The north terminal (nearly 35,500 m2 of new construction) includes a truncation that will streamline direct access for passengers between the Cercanías commuter train platforms and long-distance trains and vice versa.
The independent parts of the proposal allow for a phased and executable flexible work plan, which can be adjusted to the needs of the station and the railway services, minimizing the effects on circulation and the environment during the works.

Smart ecosystem
Madrid-Chamartín Clara Campoamor will become an intelligent ecosystem based on the five pillars of sustainability, focused on the use of natural and recycled materials; circularity to achieve a closed cycle of the carbon footprint; responsible consumption and management of water, through smart solutions and the recovery of rainwater; and the generation and use of energy through photovoltaic solar collectors on most of the covered surface. In addition, the proposal incorporates measures to guarantee extended universal accessibility, which facilitates the inclusiveness and integration of all social groups.
The project also facilitates interchanges with the metro and taxi (in addition to pedestrian access) and the future bus interchange that will be developed in Calle Agustín de Foxá. In addition, it incorporates spaces for sustainable means of transport (shared and private) to promote active mobility. In line with the commitments of Adif's Ecomilla project, last-mile parcel areas will be included for delivery using zero-emission vehicles and charging points for electric vehicles. All the developments will also be aligned with the Digital Transformation Plan and the e-futura Plan that Adif is deploying to turn its stations into connected spaces with residents and the environment.
The commercial solution is based on an All in Hall model, optimal for a high-volume station, with the coexistence of suburban and long-distance services. The configuration of the commercial blocks in the north terminal, as a public square, is reinforced with a corridor and elements that connect with the park and the city. This will intensify the functionality of the railway in the south terminal.
The distribution of the tertiary (180,000 m2 in total) in the three towers allows for these assets to be managed independently from the rest of the complex. The offices are conceived as flexible spaces with natural lighting.

A new reality
Open to the city
- The proposal is committed to a harmonious development of the station and the city, with urban balconies, terraces, which emerge as a natural extension of the future Central Park, the recovery of the vaults of the southern sector, and the towers which will house the business center.
Multipurpose terminals
- With two multi-purpose terminals, the station is conceived as a large block with a courtyard, which generates interior routes around the railway lines, promotes connectivity and enhances pedestrian flow.
Intermodal and accessible
- It reinforces intermodality, the generation of public spaces, the efficient use of resources and an expanded universal accessibility for all groups.
New phase: #ChamartínMásCerca
Chamartín Ecosistema Abierto (Chamartín Open EcoSystem) complements and follows on from the actions that are already being carried out to double the capacity of high-speed trains and the passenger hall of the station, facilitate the connection with other urban transport and maximize the tracks and platforms for Cercanías (the commuter network) and medium and long-distance trains.
The transformation of the station that is already underway involves increasing the number of high-speed tracks from 6 to 12, once the construction of four new through tracks and the conversion to standard gauge of two others is complete.
The surface area of the concourse will also be doubled, extending it to the north, east and south.
The project also involves the restoration of the old Cercanías commuter concourse under the tracks at the north end of the line and, with it, the vertical communication cores between platforms and the concourse, as well as the connection with the Metro.
All the actions represent an investment of 326 million euros and more than 1,000 workers are involved in the development.
From February 4 to end of December 2023 , the works will concentrate on the expansion of the main hall to the north, assembly of track and signaling devices between tracks 1 and 6 and the refurbishment of platforms , and 3, as well as the reinforcement of structures in the city square.

The works will give the station more space for commuters, more railway fluidity and more connections between commuter trains and high-speed trains and the Metro. The terminal will have a greater capacity for trains and more fluid traffic, and will be able to handle incident resolution more efficiently. Once this phase is completed, Chamartín will be able to handle between 25% and 30% more commuter trains every day: up to 900 trains on a daily basis.
The extensive work will require the use of large-scale machinery. These are unique works, with foundations very close to the track and the construction of large girders above platforms and tracks. The planning has also addressed two issues: Minimization of security risks for passengers, workers and traffic, and the optimization of time, associated with the financing by the European MRR funds.

The planning has also addressed two issues: Minimization of security risks for passengers, workers and traffic, and the optimization of time, associated with the financing by the European MRR funds.
The implementation of this phase requires the interruption of rail services between Chamartín and Nuevos Ministerios, in the Sol tunnel, on lines C3, C3a, C4, C4a and C4b) from February 4 to December. All of these will have alternatives available on other local and commuter train lines. The project has been planned to minimize impact, keeping the Recoletos tunnel between Chamartín and Atocha operative, as well as the Sol and Recoletos tunnels in the section with most commuter train traffic: Nuevos Ministerios – Atocha.
To guarantee the mobility of passengers, Renfe has boosted its services with more trains (+15%) and more seating (+6%). It has also incorporated more staff and there will be 700 employees who will be informing, directing and guiding passengers at the stations.

Chamartín moves forward
These works are being carried out in parallel to the other actions that are transforming Madrid-Chamartín Clara Campoamor into a strategic node for multimodal and integrated mobility, in response to the increased traffic associated with the process of passenger transport liberalization.
With an investment of 326 million euros, these ongoing actions are aimed at doubling the capacity for high-speed trains as well as doubling the surface area of the concourse to the north, east and south. Likewise, 13 tracks and platforms destined for commuter trains will be remodeled and the old commuter train concourse under the tracks at the north end of the line (the Central concourse) will be refurbished, as will the vertical communication cores between platforms and the interior concourse, in addition to a direct connection with the high-speed train and Madrid Metro.

Capacity doubled for high-speed trains
Madrid-Chamartín Clara Campoamor will double the capacity for high-speed trains, from the current 6 tracks to a total of 12, plus a stabling track. Currently, four new standard gauge passing tracks are being built -tracks 22, 23, 24 and 25- and 14 and 15 are being converted to standard gauge.
The railway complex will thus have a total of 25 tracks: Twelve tracks for high-speed trains on standard gauge and thirteen for commuter lines plus medium and long-distance trains on Iberian gauge.
The railway complex will thus have a total of 25 tracks: Twelve tracks for high-speed trains on standard gauge and thirteen for commuter lines plus medium and long-distance trains on Iberian gauge.
The extension is a response to the progressive arrival of high-speed services from Valencia and Murcia, as well as to the growth of the rest of the high-speed network lines from the north of the Peninsula.
Twice as much space for travelers
The station concourse will be expanded to the north, east and south. The surface area will double to 18,000 m2. The passenger flow will be reorganized and made more accessible, and pedestrian routes will be optimized.
The passenger building will house three areas: A double-height boarding area for high-speed trains; one for commuter trains; and a common concourse in the form of a large longitudinal corridor, which will form the heart of the station and the main route for the movement of passengers and residents.

Restoration of the old Cercanías commuter train concourse
This phase of the project also includes a significant initiative: Refurbishment of the old commuter concourse under the tracks at the north end of the station (that was closed in the 1980's), which is being transformed into a large space of 2,376 m2, and includes the renovation of the vertical communication cores between platforms 1 and 11 and the lower concourse for passengers and high-speed trains, which will run transversally along the track bed, providing a direct connection with the commuter and Metro networks.
This will facilitate connections with other modes of public transport and improve multimodality and accessibility at the station.

Remodeling of 13 Iberian-gauge tracks and platforms
Six of these through-tracks will continue in the Sol tunnel (tracks 1 to 5) and seven in the Recoletos tunnel (tracks 6 to 13). In addition, the signal box that controls the station and the track and signaling devices will be updated to increase circulation speed, thereby meeting the increase in demand, enhancing the flexibility of the railway network and improving the capacity of the installations to respond to incidents.
Rearrangement of city roads outside the station
The work will also have a positive impact on the exterior, addressing the taxi rank which will be protected by a canopy, creating a building for luggage storage and separating urban traffic from the station's internal traffic, freeing up space and rearranging the roadways.
In addition, multimodality will be reinforced by the incorporation of spaces for new modes of sustainable transport, including secure bicycle parking to promote the integration of clean transport models and encourage first and last-mile trips.
