Volumetry to create space
New Villa El Salvador Emergency Hospital – category II-2
The volumetric and spatial treatment has been conceptualized in the organization of elongated blocks, arranged in such a way that they create empty spaces for lighting and ventilation. The hospital has structures of 2, 3 and 4 levels, forming two parallel axes of main circulation that allow differentiating the flow of users through public and technical circulation.
For the construction of this Emergency Hospital, the Ministry of Health made available a plot near the intersection of two large avenues: Mariano Pastor Sevilla and 200 Millas. The complex built has been projected on the flattest topographic part possible of the property, located in front of the avenue 200 Millas, in its segment with less difference between its elevation and the lower part of the land, being that part intended for the main entrance to the Emergency area, as well as for outpatients and visitors.
The main concept of this hospital is based on the emergency services that it will provide in the health network of the institution. Therefore, the importance of the arrival of patients lies in facilitating access to the emergency area. This hospital has three accesses:
The main entrance is located in Av. 200 Millas, and it consists of two immediate accesses. First, the pedestrian access composed of a ramp from the sidewalk, reaching a door with a security booth through which there is access to the main atrium in front of the entrance hall and the area of auditorium/cafeteria/multi-purpose rooms and meditation room. Second, there is vehicle access next to the pedestrian access, which allows patients and medical or administrative personnel to reach the parking spaces located on the north side of the plot.
The other entrance is located in Av. 200 Millas and this is the access to the emergency area. It is composed of three paths: a pedestrian path, a path exclusive for ambulances –which leads to a yard for ambulances, and a path for vehicles that transport emergency patients with their own parking space.
