It almost goes without saying that the design of a new hospital must be able to adapt to the changing needs of the 21st century.

To place such a structure out in the countryside, surrounded by fields, was a challenge - the creation of an all-inclusive complex that by definition had to be flawless.

The architect, Jean-Philippe Pargade, has created an innovative project for the Sarthe et Loir hospital (3aa beds) that replaces and amalgamates the hospitals that formerly served the towns of Sable and La Fleche.

The horizontal architecture of this hospital environment is one of the first constructions of its type to be organised as a networked system.

Extensive continuous floor levels pierced by large and small patios and served by a central artery provide a high level of operational flexibility while offering future generations an infinite number of organisational possibilities.
