Almoosa ranks among the top ten Gulf Cooperation Council hospitals, leveraging the latest technologies to provide world class care. Almoosa’s emblem, the local Sidra tree, is a symbol of life and nurturing care for patients, visitors, and community.
The 60,000 sq m, 220-bed north tower expansion is 17 stories, the tallest hospital in Al-Ahsa and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Its majesty can be seen for miles and the gleaming structure portrays the level of care within, representing a beacon of hope and wellness. Awaiting LEED Certification, the north tower expansion houses centers of excellence for: cardiology, oncology, neuroscience, orthopedics, surgery, burn unit and intensive care. Influences of the Sidra tree are found in the building’s gentle curving façade and throughout the interior architecture.
A natural palette of wood, stone floors in public spaces and rubber flooring throughout clinical spaces support a sustainable and non-toxic environment. Biophilic details can be found throughout the design; evident at arrival from the canopy’s perforated metal ceilings delivering calming dappled light. Waiting lounge and patient room designs reference nature to soothe and heal. A 3-story glass podium façade connects community into the interior public spaces, welcoming visitors. The ground level hosts food, retail and respite spaces, reinforcing a sense of hospitality and positive experiences. Along the building’s glass façade, daylight filters through a tall wood screen wall creating comfortable spaces inspired by nature. A state-of-the-art auditorium and rooftop restaurant overlook all of Al Ahsa, the only accommodations of its kind in the region.
