Located halfway between the urban fabric and undeveloped land, the multi-purpose building in Granollers explores the conceptual limit of territory, between the natural landscape of El Vallès and the city.

The proposal demonstrates great ability by merging into its surroundings and revaluates the hospital facilities by means of its setting. Through an elegant façade compositional system, which orders the building, and the intelligent arrangement of three large patios, light and nature enter the building, providing a great feeling of comfort, friendliness and warmth at all times.

More than ninety emergency care points, a structured ICU with ten boxes and a pandemic ward with twenty beds for critical care is the most notable functional response of the new building. However, the proposal is not only the building itself, but also the forecast for the future growth of the Granollers Hospital. The infrastructure foresees its growth and expansion, incorporating a future surgical block and up to four hospitalization floors.

Diving deeper underground, the building hides under soil and vegetation almost two thousand five hundred square meters of basement allocated between storage rooms, changing rooms and a large facility area that is essential for the current and future needs of the building.

The short completion period (fourteen months of design and building) and having stuck to the budget have not reduced the architectural and execution quality of the center, thanks above all to collaborative work and the methodology implemented in its development, but also to the effort, commitment, courage and talent of the entire team that has made it possible and that has participated in it.

A project where despite the speed in its construction and design, all the pieces have ended up adjusting, finding their place. Without anecdotes but with accuracy, the new hospital building of Granollers contains everything that is essential.
