VENICE | Hospital Of Venice | U/C

[Nicux]

One of the newest and most technological hospitals in Europe will soon be available for the patients, the new Hospital of Venice, located on the mainland, in the region of Veneto, northeastern Italy.

The building site was opened on the 20th February last year and will be available by the end of 2007. The hospital is expected to open its doors on the 1st of January 2008.
In the structure there will be also a new eye bank and a lab for the research on stem cells.

How the hospital will look like:

First Floor Out-patient's department, day hospital.
Second Floor Offices and Direction.

Outside: The hospital will resemble an amphitheatre and outside is currently being built the Research on stem cells laboratory, connected to the eye bank.
Canteen, cafeterias, restaurant, meeting rooms.

Parking Three floors in front of the hospital, 535 car places for doctors and workers of the hospital and 557 car places for visitors.
A system of escalators will connect the parking with the hospital.

The eye bank, 5.000 square metres
On the southwestern part of the area will be built the Eye Bank, the biggest in Europe for number of corneas.
The laboratory for the research on epitelial stem cells will be able to provide corneal stem cells to cure deseases so far thought to be incurable.

The region is also improving the railway system and by the end of next year on the most busy tracks trains To/from Venice there will be trains every 8 minutes.

A new station will be built by the hospital, the TERRAGLIO-OSPEDALE station. Trains every 8 minutes (peak hours) or every 10 minutes will carry the hospital visitors to Venice or Treviso and stop at the stations on the line.

The new station

Yes yes some crazy italians expressed the wish to be kept for somedays there...I actually wouldn't!!!
By the way, Dr. Masonic... always welcome :D

[Justme]

Very nice. On another note, any progress on that small subway line under the lagoon, or still just talks?

[Nicux]

Just talks mate, the priorities are still the high speed railway (under construction, track to Padova ready) and the metro-regional service.

I wish I could know more about the sublagunar's project!

[el palmesano]

This look's spactacular, thank's to everyone for the photos and information.
This is the best designed medical complex i've ever seen, and the landscaping and subterranean aspects of the project is unsurpassed....!!!

Safe ducts in case of earthquake

In designing new complexes for use as hospitals or for residential, commercial or industrial purposes in areas at high risk of earthquakes, the safety factor associated with these structures require great attention and meticulous consideration. This means that a careful assessment has to be made not only of the performance of the architectural structures but also of the installations involved in them, particularly the ducts systems for the handling of air. P3 developed this research that focuses on the behaviour of P3ductal system compared to traditional sheet metal ducts in case of earthquake.

[nazrey]

Our ecological footprint to save nature!

A sustainable environment is for us a constant and serious social duty. A commitment which becomes reality with eco-sustainable production technologies and the Hydrotec patent which uses water as the only expanding agent for the insulation in P3ductal and P3isomac and therefore without using any greenhouse effect gasses during the expansion of the polyurethane foam. With P3 saving the environment is a reality.

[nazrey]

A new air for hospitals! The new Mestre hospital

Maintaining the correct thermohydrometric conditions and air quality is fundamental in all hospital
applications. A great deal of attention, starting from the designing phases, has to be given to
changing the air distribution ducts. P3 has developed a panel on purpose for hospital applications
(available also with an antibacterial treatment) capable of guaranteeing an extremely high level of
hygiene.

Incredible. Next time I'm near Venice I'll try to contract a disease so I can pay this place a VIP visit. Seriously, though, it's beautiful. There need to be more hospitals like this one.

[Gordion]

WOW it looks amazing!

[NJANJA]

Absurd. Didn't they demolish Biosphere 2? The little 'rainforest indoors' is too tacky for words.

[Arichis]

Congratulations to Venice :cheers:

Absolutely stunning! Beautiful atrium which exudes a sense of serenity. How different from more "institutional" looking buildings one normally associates with hospitals.

What a great idea to put a train station in the medical campus.

[Perennial Quest]

The status construction status should be changed to completed.
The hospital is operative by months already!!!

[Nielsiej13]

Wow. cool and modern looking hospital :)

[nazrey]

Agree!
