This new extension fills the gap between the two main hospital buildings and thereby constitutes the central element linking together the whole hospital complex. Visually it is distinguished by the prominent red aluminium facade elements. The central role and importance of the emergency Centre is emphasized by the red canopy and the wall marked “urgenca” (emergency), which indicates the entrance. That point has also become the main entry point to the hospital for the majority of patients. In addition to its protective function, the red canopy serves as the main indicator of the hospital in urban planning terms. In order to emphasize the two main red elements made of aluminium composite panels (Alpolic), the remainder of the facade is finished in a render of neutral concrete tone.
