The project establishes a strategic update of the sanitary-gerontological campus in Zumárraga, adapting the existing planning framework to new healthcare and social demands. It operates not as a single building intervention, but as a reorganization of an already consolidated system of hospital and care facilities.
The proposal enables the expansion of the current program through the introduction of new volumes, including a surgical block and the extension of existing hospital wings. These additions are conceived as part of a coherent system, maintaining alignment with the existing structures while allowing for future growth and technological adaptation.
A key aspect of the intervention lies in redefining internal connectivity. New links between buildings—both at ground level and above—ensure functional continuity across the complex, improving the efficiency of healthcare operations and patient flows.
At the urban scale, the project reorganizes access, circulation, and parking. A new vehicular access is introduced to reduce pressure on existing routes, while pedestrian connections are enhanced to improve accessibility and clarity of movement throughout the site.
The overall strategy defines a flexible and phased framework, capable of accommodating long-term transformations. By integrating architecture, infrastructure, and landscape, the project reinforces the campus as a coherent and evolving healthcare environment.
