What did CH3 build for São Leopoldo Mandic?

CH3 built the new medical graduate school headquarters of Universidade São Leopoldo Mandic, the country's largest private dental school. It covers 2,200 m² in the Passeio Paulista building on Rua da Consolação in São Paulo, bringing academic facilities and a clinical center together in a single space.

The challenge

Mandic needed a complex that would bring together two environments with different but complementary operational demands. On one side, academic facilities for up to 80 students per session. On the other, a clinical center with strict requirements for hygiene, patient flow and high-precision equipment. All of this while maintaining the operational excellence and human-centered approach that define the institution.

What was delivered

The academic facilities include five classrooms for 80 students, designed with optimized acoustics, a faculty room, a call room for administrative support, a fully equipped kitchenette and a large social area with bleacher seating, armchairs and poufs. Theatrical lighting creates a welcoming atmosphere.

The clinical center has 25 fully equipped treatment rooms with high-precision medical gas, electrical and plumbing systems, plus five triage and procedure rooms with a separate flow. The reception and waiting area are integrated, the HVAC is zoned and the finishes use easy-to-clean materials that meet biosafety standards.

The contracting model

The project was carried out under the Turnkey model. CH3 handled design, management and construction, from the brief to the handover, including supplier coordination, materials procurement and design coordination. Mandic could focus on its curriculum and the quality of its teaching while the build moved forward.

Construction was completed in record time and precisely on schedule, which allowed Mandic to start operating as planned without disrupting its academic routine.
