Pôle de santé, Cosne-Sur-Loire
Located at the entrance to the town, the new Health Centre will embody the renewal of local medicine and the dynamism of Cosne-sur-Loire. Offering a modernised image, it defines structuring urban and landscape axes, and offers an attractive quality of reception for both patients and staff. Immediately visible from the outskirts, the New Hospital is accessible via a forecourt serving its central body, its entrance, forming a stable centre of gravity that brings together the distribution spaces on all levels. Its two accommodation wings, perpendicular to the neighbouring motorway, limit the exposure of its rooms to noise and provide attractive views. On a human scale, the new Health Centre brings together an Emergency Department and its helipad, an Imaging Department, a Consultations and Day Hospitalization Department, and 90 conventional hospital beds divided into three units: a 30-bed multi-purpose Medicine Unit, a 30-bed Long-Term Care Unit (USLD), and a 30-bed Continuing Care and Rehabilitation Unit (SSR). The planted outdoor areas contribute to the quality of the views and are used for waiting, patient-caregiver activities and rest areas. The materials used and the composition of the facades are simple and durable. The modular facades, insulated from the outside with white sand brick, guarantee a simplicity of use, maintenance and enhances the image of the institution.
