Clinical Laboratory – Guastalla Civil Hospital

Clinical laboratory within the hospital facility

The project involved the construction of a new clinical laboratory within Guastalla Civil Hospital, as part of the wider programme for the renovation and expansion of the facility. The new function required close integration between spatial organisation, technical equipment and performance requirements, supporting the hospital’s diagnostic activities and the blood collection centres across the local area.

Integrated design and spatial flexibility

The project included architectural, structural and building systems design, together with the development of technical furniture and fittings. The spaces were organised to ensure efficient circulation, accessibility and adaptability over time.

Plasterboard partitions were selected to reduce loads on the existing structure and facilitate future changes to the layout and building systems. Rock wool suspended ceiling panels complete the system, supporting the reconfiguration of the spaces while improving thermal and acoustic comfort.

Comfort, safety and accessibility

Finishes were selected to provide suitable environmental quality and performance for a hospital laboratory. Sound-absorbing ceilings, lightweight partitions and acoustic floor membranes help reduce noise and improve indoor comfort.

The project also included structural strengthening and works to remove architectural barriers, improving safety and ensuring full accessibility throughout the facility.
