EPM Intelligent Building (Spanish: Edificio Intelligente EPM), also known simply as the EPM Building, is the headquarters for the public utilities company Empresas Públicas de Medellín (EPM) in Medellín, Colombia. The building is located at the intersection of the Avenida del Rio and Carrera 58, in a neighborhood known as La Alpujarra II. The building is surrounding by greenspace, a series of outdoor fountains, and a stand-alone cube near the building that houses an auditorium. Its modern architecture and construction has made it a symbol of contemporary Medellín. Plaza Mayor, Barefoot Park, and the Medellín Metropolitan Theatre are also nearby.
The building is modeled after the Lloyd's building, which houses the Lloyd's of London insurance market in the United Kingdom.[2]
The EPM Building is one of the locations decorated with lights each year for the Christmas season in Medellín.[3]
