MONACO OF TOMORROW
THE NEW HOSPITAL https :// www . chpg . mc
The new Princess Grace Hospital Centre on Pasteur Avenue is definitely one of the most anticipated projects in the Principality . It will provide state-ofthe-art medical care , not only to Monegasques , but to several neighbouring municipalities , or about 125,000 people .
The only public hospital establishment in the Principality has become even more vital during the pandemic . The new hospital will boast larger , more modern facilities with bigger capacity : 394 beds , a psychiatry section with 66 beds , 15 operating rooms and 650 parking spaces . One exciting feature of the new hospital is its scalability , which means that the architecture of the operating rooms will be modular to accommodate the best medical imaging devices over time .

To help patients relax and feel at ease , the new hospital will have interior patios , hanging gardens facing the sea , play areas and many of the individual rooms will have a view of the Mediterranean . The building will meet the Principality ’ s environmental priorities with a natural ventilation system connected to the thalassothermal loop and solar power which will supply 50 % of its hot water needs .
The big move to the new hospital will slowly begin as early as 2026 . Then , after services are transferred to the new building and the old building is demolished , two more wings will be constructed between 2026 and 2030 . The brand new hospital is due to be completed by 2032 .
