COS 25: Marie Curie Project
Children`s Hospital built at Marie Curie, for Give Life /Dăruiește Viață Association
COS25: Outstanding Projects Signed by COS in its first 25 years in Romania.
In 2019, we proudly joined the interior furbishing & design of the first children`s hospital built entirely from donations in Romania, at Marie Curie Hospital in Bucharest – a unique initiative that mobilized the entire Romanian society, at the initiative of of Give Live Association (Daruiește Viață).
A much-needed facility, given the large number of children in need and their families, the hospital covers an area of approximately 12,000 square meters, spread over 9 floors, with a capacity of approximately 150 beds.
Custom interior solutions for high standard medical interiors
We know that medical environments require high standards in terms of hygiene and safety and we are delighted to have been able to provide some of the best available fitting solutions in terms of wall finishes, special door systems and flooring solutions.
TESSERACT Architecture, the lead architect of the project, guided us in providing the best solutions for this hospital, creating a sterile environment while using finishes that help reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections.
Safety and care for the environment and people
For this project, we implemented a Scandinavian wall finishing system, used and manufactured by Flugger. This meets the conditions and standards required to reduce the potential risk of spreading infections in the healthcare environment.
This special paint is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, with no impact on health and compresses a series of coats that are applied in stages to provide a smooth and sterile surface.
Our teams also supplied and installed Nora rubber, totaling over 8,000 square feet of flooring. Nora rubber flooring has been developed specifically for the increased demands in hospital rooms and hospital environments in general. The Blue Angel certification of Nora products is proof that the product ensures the highest standard of sustainability.
A major achievement and a premiere in Romania, the hospital was built exclusively with donations from 350,000 individual donors and 7,000 companies. This was also a first for COS team and a proof that medical environments in Romania can get better, too.
