Pabellón 83, Cultural center in Lota, Chile

Pabellón 83 is a three-storey wooden building in Lota, inspired by English architecture. Each of its original apartments spanned three floors: the ground floor was built in double masonry for the kitchen and living-dining room, while the two upper levels, in wood, held the bedrooms. Bathrooms were outdoors and shared, and the whole building covers 1,408.80 square metres.

The building was constructed in 1915 and originally served as housing for miners working in the region. Its creation occurred during a period of major coal mining expansion in the area.

The building is named after the year it was built, 1915, and is the only surviving example of its kind, which led to its designation as a National Monument in 2009. Since its restoration it has been run by the Fundación CEPAS as a community cultural centre, hosting exhibitions and activities for Lota residents and visitors.

The building stands in Lota, in the Biobío Region, and is reached on foot from the town centre. Its three floors are connected by stairs, and the original bathrooms were outdoors and shared, so access for people with reduced mobility is limited. Visits depend on the activities of the Fundación CEPAS, which administers the centre.

Each of the twenty original apartments spanned three floors: the ground floor was built in double masonry for the kitchen and living-dining room, while the two upper wooden levels held the bedrooms. Bathrooms stood outside and were shared by the residents.
