The Future Ibn Sina Hospital: A Garden Tower at the Heart of an Urban Park
The future Ibn Sina Hospital will be distinguished by a bioclimatic garden tower, symbolizing modernity, medical excellence, and ecological commitment. A true architectural feat, this iconic 140-meter-high structure will replace the current university hospital center (CHU) built in 1954. Designed by AIA Life Designers and AWMountassir, the architectural complex combines a tower and its base in a fluid and harmonious composition, opening onto a 6.5-hectare landscaped park.
Located between the city and the ocean along a major urban axis, the hospital will become a new architectural landmark for the capital, with its shimmering tower visible from afar. The optimization of ground space allows for the creation of a vast park, extending Rabat’s green corridor and seamlessly linking the hospital to the city. This landscaped sequence, punctuated by water basins and gentle pathways, guides visitors and integrates nature into the heart of the project.
A green continuum runs through the hospital, from the reception hall to the green roofs and the vertical green rift rising along the tower.
An optimized orientation towards the Atlantic Ocean provides panoramic views while leveraging sea breezes for natural ventilation in the hall and patient rooms.
A bioclimatic approach ensures a perfect balance between high technology and respect for the local climate, offering patients and staff an innovative and soothing healthcare environment.
By placing humans and nature at its core, the Ibn Sina Hospital will serve as a model of sustainable and environmentally integrated healthcare.
