12 de Octubre Hospital in Madrid, technological and humanised

Objective

With a total of 754 rooms, 1,315 beds, 41 operating theatres, 109 ICU stations for critical patients and another 42 for critical neonatal patients, the new 12 de Octubre Hospital in Madrid is a real challenge, both architecturally and technologically. A project of the Community of Madrid (CAM), which commissioned the Argola Arquitectos studio to update the Hospital, inaugurated in 1973 and is currently the largest hospital in Europe.

The project expands and modernises the Hospital, both spatially and technologically, through responsible design and advanced equipment and facilities.

Solution

As part of the Comprehensive Infrastructure Modernisation Plan for the entire complex, the work on the New Technical and Hospitalisation Block at 12 de Octubre Hospital is conceived as a spacious, bright, comfortable, safe, environmentally friendly and energy-efficient space. With advanced clinical and diagnostic imaging equipment, it incorporates solutions that improve well-being, such as innovative therapeutic gardens, materials and designs that connect patients and staff with the natural environment, and solutions that enhance acoustic comfort.

Through programmes such as Vital Pro, A+s Word, Noom, Avant, Smara, Talent, Twist, Longo Bend and its wardrobes and drawer units, the Actiu team has participated in a process that has gone far beyond the products. A project in which the sustainability of all the production processes, the adaptation and advice on the management of spaces and the accompaniment during all the phases -from the awarding of the equipment to the modification of the product- have been a key factor in the success of the projectThe key to achieving, together with Argola Arquitectos, all the objectives and wishes of the Hospital's management, was the modification of the product to adapt it to their needs and new technologies.
