The Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) Medical Center is the first building to be constructed as part of the Mloganzila New Campus of the premier national university in Tanzania.
It is the largest general hospital in East Africa, which provides an advanced medical system to fulfill public health and medical needs, nurture the training of medical specialists, and improve the level of medical services specific to the nature and environment of Africa.
The façade of the building, to which a passive system is applied, has distinct regional characteristics such as deep window sills and light shelfs.
Overall the design is quietly associated with cultural characteristics of the region, and is inspired by the local baobab tree that is called the tree of cure and life. Entering the main entrance under the pergola that shields against the strong African sunlight, and passing by the landscape space that emphasizes the healing power of Nature, one experiences a clear and functional flow of building users at the lobby that attracts beautiful nature inside.
