Institutional Construction: Hospitals, Schools and Public Infrastructure

Institutional construction - hospitals, schools, universities, public bodies - has direct social responsibility. A poorly built hospital puts lives at risk. An inadequate school harms generations. So technical standards and oversight are stricter.

Hospitals and Healthcare Units

Hospitals follow regulations covering room sizing, HVAC, medical gases, effluent treatment and infectious waste management.

Healthcare-Specific Requirements

• Segregated flows: Patients, companions, staff, clean materials, soiled materials, waste
• Room pressurisation: Positive in clean rooms, negative in isolation
• Finishes: Washable materials, rounded corners, sealed joints
• Critical systems: Emergency power, medical gases, HVAC with HEPA filtration
• Radiological protection: Shielding in radiology, signage

Schools and Universities

Educational buildings must meet accessibility, fire safety, acoustic comfort and adequate lighting standards.

"Building schools is building the future. We do not accept shortcuts."

Arq. Claudia Menezes, Institutional Projects Pizeo

Universal Accessibility

Institutional projects must be fully accessible. Accessibility is a fundamental right.

Durability and Maintainability

Public buildings have limited maintenance budgets. Durable materials and easy-to-maintain systems are essential.

Tenders and Compliance

Public works follow procurement law. Pizeo masters legal requirements.

Social Impact

Institutional construction transforms communities. Quality public infrastructure reduces inequality.
