Article source: Forgas arquitectes The new Cap Can Roca is located in the center of the facilities of Can Roca, in the north-west of Terrassa, with a constructed area of 2,000m2 and 400m2 of green spaces. The building occupies most of the available land, in order to be developed with the least number of floors. This allows easy access to users and optimal operation of the health activity.

It connects the upper Isidre Nonell street and the lower Fàtima street, where the main hall is located. This route -which connects the neighbourhoods located to the north and south of the island of facilities-, is a space with vegetation and sunshine. It offers life and visual comfort to users who are inside the building. There is a clear typological structure in the form of a comb, with two longitudinal lines running north-south. The western line is 14.20m wide, and it is organized with three transverse patios that allow ventilation and lighting of all rooms. It has the waiting rooms and consultations, which take place alternately.

The facility is designed according to constructive economy, energy saving, environmental sustainability and ease of use and maintenance. The ceramic lattice facades confer a unitary and friendly image to the equipment and offer privacy in the interior spaces such as consultation rooms. At the same time, they are a solar protection element by filtering the light that penetrates inside.
