Clinical laboratories unit, croix rousse hospital, Lyon

Lyon

As the first phase of the hospital extension, the building groups almost all of the clinical testing laboratories behind a technical facade that represents the exacting technological and security requirements of the future hospital site.

This glass and metal prow is made up of open-plan floorplates that offer a great flexibility to the very diverse services that occupy them. A first in France, this building is an example of one of the key preoccupations of our same day – urgent cash loan today: the resolution of complexity through the simplification of rational organisation.
