FLENI

Description

FLENI, the largest motor rehabilitation facility in Latin America, asked CRIBA to build a turn-key state-of-the-art molecular imaging facility, the first of its kind in Argentina. Aside from special rooms to accommodate two sophisticated last generation CAT scan machines and a cyclotron, the hospital’s new building has an outpatient sector and a research lab. Due to the radioactive nature of the material used by the cyclotron, the room in which it is housed required the construction of 1 meter-thick reinforced concrete walls for containment purposes. Other important aspects of the construction process were the electrical and thermo-mechanical installations, lab furniture installation and the floor and wall finishings. For the exterior we used exposed concrete with aluminum window openings in order to blend in with neighboring buildings.
