It is a building with nine floors above ground, intended for hospital use as well as four underground floors for parking, services, laboratories, technical rooms and warehouses.
The building is subdivided into two parts by a structural joint that only concerns the floors above ground.
The excavation, with a depth of over 15 m, was realized by using r. c. diaphragms 60 cm thick with double order of temporary anchor tie rods.
The structures are built in r.c. cast in place: the above ground floors are made up of semi-prefabricated trussed steel beams and precast hollow-core prestressed r.c. slabs completed by collaborating cast in place concrete.
The structures of the roof are in glued laminated timber.
The foundation mat and the perimeter walls of the three storey basement was built with the “white tank” method to obtain a complete impermeability of the r.c. underground works.
