What spaces make up Mandic's new headquarters?

São Leopoldo Mandic's new medical graduate school headquarters occupies 2,200 m² in the Passeio Paulista building in São Paulo and is organized into two parts: the academic facilities and the clinical center. CH3 developed an integrated solution so that both could operate in the same space without either getting in the way of the other.

Academic facilities

• Five classrooms with capacity for 80 students, designed with optimized acoustics.
• A faculty room and a call room for administrative support.
• A large social area with bleacher seating, armchairs and poufs, which reinforces the institution's human-centered approach and brings teams together.
• A fully equipped kitchenette.
• Strategic theatrical lighting that creates a welcoming atmosphere.

Clinical center

• 25 fully equipped treatment rooms with high-precision medical gas, electrical and plumbing systems.
• Five triage and procedure rooms with a separate flow.
• An integrated reception and waiting area, designed to convey professionalism and confidence.
• HVAC systems zoned to keep rooms with different occupancy levels comfortable.
• Easy-to-clean finishes that meet biosafety standards.

What connects the two parts

Running hands-on classes and clinical appointments at the same time called for proper sound insulation between classrooms and treatment rooms. Independent zoned HVAC systems maintain thermal comfort without wasting energy. The circulation of students, patients and staff was mapped to avoid unnecessary crossings.

CH3 coordinated the structural, electrical, plumbing and acoustic designs under the Turnkey model, eliminating rework and keeping to the schedule. The result is a complex where the academic facilities accommodate up to 80 students per session while the clinical center operates to the hygiene and precision standards the work demands.
