The new Education and Research Center is conceived as an urban oasis in São Paulo, prioritizing well-being alongside education and research. Its expansive garden atrium, the project’s communal heart, brings natural light, greenery, and gathering space under a vaulted glass roof with an advanced shading and daylighting system that mimics a tree canopy. Terraced walkways weave through the atrium, linking classrooms, labs, and clinical research facilities, integrating nature with learning and innovation.
