The Diagnostic Center and School of Medicine will be a leading center for research and clinical care. The Center will be one of the first in Europe to systematically incorporate robotic medical laboratories.
This hospital facility has more than 400 specialized consultation rooms, robotic laboratories, a diagnostic center, a surgical suite, and specialized medical units.
The facility also houses a School of Medicine with robotic classrooms, a medical library, and a Conference Center that can accommodate 800 people.
The center features 1,200 naturally ventilated covered parking spaces and a station on the Bilbao metro network. Both facilities will improve connectivity with the rest of the city.
Despite its large scale, the design establishes a network of pedestrian walkways and gathering areas, both indoors and outdoors, connected to the surrounding landscape and the new gardens.
Its construction represents a challenge in sustainability and land restoration. The Center is being built on a degraded site that was used as a landfill for excavation spoil during the 1980s. The new facility will restore the area both environmentally and urbanistically.
