The center of excellence for medical training and scientific development

Contemporanea Arquitetura e Interiores designed HELP, Hospital de Ensino e Laboratórios de Pesquisa in the Agreste region of northeastern Brazil. Located in a city of approximately 420,000 inhabitants, the new facility reaches more than one and a half million people in its radius of operations. HELP was conceived to be a reference center, capable of repositioning the city of Campina Grande as one of the main medical centers of a region that represents 34% of the Brazilian population.

It is a hospital of regional size, encompassing services of high complexity, with care for a mixed public – philanthropic and private - as well as a center of excellence for medical training and scientific development that is linked to one of the most important and renowned medical schools in the region.

In order to offer an advanced environment not only in medical care, but also in resource efficiency, HELP provides a unified basis for technology and sustainability, which should be seen as complementary elements. The hospital houses equipment and solutions of high-tech building facilities and systems, many of them still uncommon in Brazil. It has sophisticated building automation resources for the management of its systems and subsystems, including a rainwater collection and storage network, an irrigation system, an intelligent air conditioning system (air renewal, exhaust, and cooling with negative and positive pressure), and a pneumatic system for transporting medicines. Additionally, the building has its own solar power plant, designed to sustain 100% of the building's demands and saving about 100 thousand dollars monthly, which will be given to support assistance services, notably in the area of pediatrics.

Regarding hospital humanization, the project uses resources from Biophilia and Neuroarchitecture, incorporating elements of nature into the building, through its internal gardens and natural lighting, the intentional composition of colors, materials, and textures, in order to set up a therapeutic environment, in addition to promoting well-being for employees, companions and visitors. HELP was developed from a modern vision of architecture for healthcare, introducing a human-centered design approach, and the building as a transformative instrument capable of contributing to the hospital's objectives: to restore, welcome, and comfort.
