Estudio de factibilidad para la construcción del Auditorio Multifuncional de la Escuela de Perfeccionamiento de Tripulantes en la Base Naval de Guayaquil

Abstract

Abstract: This study presents a feasibility analysis for the construction of a Multifunctional Auditorium at the Escuela de Perfeccionamiento de Tripulantes (ESTRIP) of the Ecuadorian Navy, addressing the current absence of an adequate space for academic, doctrinal, and ceremonial activities. Through a mixed-methods approach and the Logical Framework Methodology, a survey of 190 participants revealed a 96% institutional priority and critical deficiencies in capacity, ventilation, acoustics, lighting, and technology. Based on this demand, a preliminary design is proposed for Block 6 with a base capacity of 300 seats expandable to 350-400 and incorporating universal accessibility, zoned VRF climate control, acoustic treatment, and professional audiovisual equipment. The estimated investment is USD 688,110, with annual operation and maintenance costs of USD 19,506. The financial evaluation using a 25% discount rate results in a negative NPV and an IRR below the required rate, confirming that the project is not financially profitable. However, the economic social assessment demonstrates clear institutional benefits related to professional development, operational efficiency, and institutional image. Environmentally, the project is viable, as it would be built on an already intervened site with mitigable impacts.
