It would be until 2021 when construction began and it would take about two years to complete it. The plant would be located on a plot of 55 hectares, where another Metropolitan Park was planned and will have a multi-themed offer, with different careers, such as cu Tonalá.Ricardo Villanueva, general rector of the University of Guadalajara, stressed that it will have an open concept for the enjoy of the neighbors, will not affect green areas and will be entirely sustainable.

The inhabitants of the area have expressed concern about the development and possible real estate explosion in the area that will bring to a natural area of high fragility.
