In Collaboration with M. Kairos
Rehabilitate with Purpose, Preserve with Vision
The rehabilitation of the ICBAS building is a commitment to the enhancement of academic and architectural heritage. A project that honors the past, responds to present-day needs, and prepares the institution for the future.
The rehabilitation of the Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar (ICBAS) building represents a strategic and symbolic intervention that respects the institution’s architectural legacy while meeting the demands of contemporary education and scientific research. The project preserves the identity of the building and integrates new construction solutions that ensure its functionality for future generations.
More open, accessible, and technologically equipped spaces were created, providing learning and working environments that foster collaboration, innovation, and comfort for the entire academic community. This rehabilitation goes beyond the physical component—it marks a qualitative leap in the experience of students, teachers, and researchers who engage with the building daily.
Anchored in a conscious and lasting approach, the project incorporates sustainable practices and materials, promotes energy efficiency, and reduces the environmental impact of construction. This integrated vision combines tradition with ecological responsibility, reflecting the institution’s commitment to a more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive future.
