The new Lecco Hospital Complex extends over a usable surface area of more than 137,000 sqm and is organized into three main buildings — the hospital block, the administrative building, and the technical block — all connected by a central distribution axis. The plan layout, composed of three longitudinal volumes linked by curvilinear connectors, generates six internal courtyards and allows for an efficient management of circulation flows, while minimizing the visual impact on the surrounding urban landscape.
The hospital block, arranged over eight levels, including two underground floors, accommodates approximately 1,000 beds and houses the main healthcare functions, including inpatient wards, emergency areas, diagnostic imaging, operating theaters, specialist departments, day hospital units, intensive care, and clinical laboratories. The internal transport of materials is managed through a fully automated robotic system operating on each floor.
The administrative building contains executive offices, staff facilities, training spaces, and a multi-level underground car park with 1,250 parking spaces. The technical block houses the mechanical and electrical plants, storage areas, and general logistics services.
At the heart of the complex lies a large entrance hall, serving as the central hub for access to all healthcare functions, complemented by public service areas. The hospital is also equipped with a heliport for emergency transport and organ transfer operations.
From a construction standpoint, the structures are made of reinforced concrete, the façades consist of prefabricated concrete panels with aluminum sandwich cladding, and the flat roofs feature gravel finishes. The aluminum window frames and the efficient spatial and MEP layout ensure high functional performance, operational flexibility, and the possibility of future expansion.
