Vimercate hospital - Mario Botta

Designed by architect Mario Botta, the hospital has 538 beds, and consists of about 116,000 m² of deck.

Coupling self-supporting composite structures with hollow core slabs and prestressed slabs permitted to construct 116000 m² of decking in 6 months, with a productivity of over 19000 m² a month. The self-supporting characteristic of the structures permitted considerable reduction in worksite times, eliminating the need for shoring, formwork and form stripping required by traditional reinforced concrete structures.
