Malpensa General Hospital

planned

The Malpensa General Hospital is a new healthcare facility planned to be built between Milan and Varese, specifically between Busto Arsizio and Gallarate. It will replace the existing hospitals in the area and increase the total number of beds. The design by Zaha Hadid Architects features an innovative typological layout with inpatient wings linked to form a courtyard, extensive green areas, and roofs that serve as public squares. The hospital aims to humanize the healthcare environment by focusing on patient and staff wellbeing, incorporating warm materials like timber, and integrating the building with the surrounding landscape. The hospital will have five storeys above ground and one basement level, covering 90,000 square meters, with a modular construction system to streamline building processes.
