This multi-disciplinary project aims to build a classroom building with long-term proposals for conservation of the environment and the economy of public resources. The origin of this proposal is linked to an institutional development project supported by a transdisciplinary research project resulting from the natural convergence of scientific and technological expertise consolidated in several units of the Health Sciences Center. This unique design is the physical infrastructure for building classrooms totaling approximately 8300m2, forming part of an institutional development policy of the Health Sciences Center of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, with the establishment facilities to be used for research, technological development, undergraduate and graduate education and extension, as well as related areas of activity of the units concerned, all related to the health sciences. The feasibility of this project led to a collaboration with different Units of UFRJ, with the generation of a more ambitious project, which won a pedagogical and didactic aspects by the vinculation of end of studies subjects of these Units. The engagement of teachers and students in these Units in the design and details of the architectural design thus opens up an unprecedented ability to communicate with their professional practice, not through simulation, but through active participation at all stages of the project.

One of the most striking aspects of the project is the radical search for a commitment to environmental conservation. This establishes a proposal to build a public building dedicated not only the comfort of its direct users, but committed to the preservation of natural resources. The uniqueness of the architectural design marked by this result regarding the conservation of nature and the economy of public funds, its multi-institutional trait, the creation of a truly academic dynamic, associated with the participation of students, form an experience which should extend beyond the borders of the UFRJ. We intend to add an extension component to this initiative in order to reveal key aspects of the project that can contribute to solving the issues that are on the agenda of our population's concerns such as environmental issues.

Architectural project: topographic survey, prospecting, landscaping, visual programming, product design, sanitary installations, electrical installations, treatment of liquid and gaseous chemical effluents, new materials, use of rainwater, detailed project and work supervision.
