DMMC NEW LABORATORY COMPLEX
“Better Access…Better Mobility”

By Architect Carlito Morada

In our continuous effort to uphold our main objective towards DOUBLE IN 5, THE DMMC has embarked on another significant phase of building development, The new Laboratory Complex, comprising various sections such as Blood bank, Histopathology, Drug Testing, Extraction Area, Receiving Area, Clinical Microscopy, Hematology, Serology, Bacteriology, Clinical Chemistry, and Pathology Office.

The project commenced last June 2007 and was finally completed on August 9, 2007 considering the time and motion to transfer so as not to disrupt the existing hospital operation.

The Architectural plan dwells on the principle of “Less is More” by German Architect Mies Van De Rohe manifested through simple planning, less partitions thus giving better access…better mobility.

The design focused on open planning and proper space inter-relationship to achieve outmost convenience of the end users and in turn better service to the clientele.

The relocation of the LAB COMPLEX marked another milestone in the history of DMMC’s building improvement and development plan. The centralization within the complex not only attributed better service, much more
