Alto Vicentino Hospital, ULSS 7 Pedemontana

Design, installation and management of the new hospital in Thiene & Schio (Vicenza).

The Alto Vicentino hospital hub in the municipalities of Thiene-Schio is a facility built with environmental sustainability in mind that combines design and construction art. A project that saw workers, technicians, and architects working together, because a job well done always begins with the comparison of experiences.

It occupies a total area of 97,132 m². The main building consists of three bodies connected at each floor by connecting axes that extend at the eastern end of the complex to the volume dedicated to the entrance. The design has as its guiding principle the inclusion and dialogue of architectural structures in the surrounding landscape.

The structure is clad in a four-color multicolored glazed ventilated facade, while characterizing the hospital are the two connecting bodies and the entrance, which are distinguished by the same architectural motif employed on the south side and called the “laughing facade,” due to the interplay of transoms supporting the glazing.

The order was implemented under project financing, so the advance of capital employed is repaid with the management of the facility’s “no core” services (plant and building maintenance, heat management, cleaning and catering; waste disposal).
