of outdoor areas; LED technology for both interior and exterior lighting; exterior areas lit using solar energy. The size of the multi- zone air conditioning unit was also reduced thanks to the facades of the building being designed with improved thermal insulation to contribute towards lower air conditioning demand. Sterilised water is available – for


example, in the transplant area on the second floor to ensure everything is washed in the correct way. For this reason more equipment is required than usual and laboratories are required to ensure the continued quality of the water supply. An additional independent emergency electrical generator had to be added – as part of the life support system – to the isolation rooms, because it is not possible to move children from their rooms following a transplant. Finally, telemedicine was provided throughout the area.


Research centre The research centre was designed to enable the study of new worldwide treatments as well as to develop new ones. In 2015, the institute published 445 research documents and ran 334 investigation programmes. It also stores national and international scientific magazines, books, theses, articles and essays. It was therefore necessary to provide a place where documents and data could be brought together. The structure of the building was


strong enough to accommodate an additional floor. This was done using the same building techniques, but the ceilings were removed, leaving the frames exposed and the concrete walls were left

undecorated. The collection area is situated at basement level and includes light control, staff lockers, group study rooms, an informal reading area and a warehouse. On the ground floor are access control, working areas, computer labs, administration and magazine collections, while on the first floor are lecture rooms, staff rooms and a terrace. All levels have access to control, photocopying and sanitary facilities. Electricity and telecommunications are


provided as required, the most important being data as telemedicine is available in individual and group rooms. The centre will enable specialists from this and other hospitals to meet to discuss individual cases. In addition, reference material will be accessible to doctors, nurses and other health professionals.

Conclusion This project involved expanding the existing hospital while maintaining and improving the original building and its functionality. An expansion project is a big challenge because an existing building does not necessarily meet current regulations such as for disabled access, safety standards and certification or have water treatment facilities or air conditioning. However, construction, redesign, a change of use or maintenance must optimise financial resources, reduce energy consumption, decrease waste production and pollutants, decrease maintenance and conservation costs and increase comfort and quality of care for patients. This means employing a multidisciplinary team that has knowledge and passion.
