CO-RE Hematology and Oncology Center IRCCS

Center for research and hospital care

The CO-RE – Onco-Hematology Center IRCCS in Reggio Emilia is a healthcare facility dedicated to cancer care and clinical research, serving as a reference center at both provincial and regional level. The building operates in close integration with services already present within the hospital campus, particularly Radiotherapy.

The project involved the executive development of architectural, structural and building systems components, based on the detailed design prepared by Binini & Partners, with the aim of translating a complex and highly technological system into the construction phase.

Functional layout

The building is conceived as a compact, monolithic volume, defined by a unified composition articulated through horizontal glazed bands screened by an aluminium grid. At the corners, brick-clad towers contribute to the architectural identity of the complex.

Interior spaces accommodate highly specialised laboratories and inpatient areas for approximately 100 beds, organised according to a model that promotes integration between clinical activities, research and care.

Environmental quality and human-centred design

Particular attention was given to the quality of interior environments through the inclusion of artistic interventions and design solutions oriented towards user wellbeing. Large glazed surfaces and internal galleries contribute to the diffusion of natural light, improving spatial comfort and supporting a more human-centred approach to care.
