The College of Physicians has bought a new headquarters "bigger, more comfortable and full of possibilities" in Lanzarote. It is a two-story building that quintuples its old available surface. Thus, the College of Physicians will go from being in an apartment of about 120 m2 to its own building of 620 m2. With this acquisition, it is said to fulfill the commitment of the Board of Directors to renew and provide more space to the members in Lanzarote.
At the last General Assembly, the purchase of the new headquarters of the College of Physicians in Lanzarote was unanimously approved, which had all the favorable votes on the island, as well as those of colleagues from Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura.
The new headquarters is located on the Carretera de San Bartolomé number 52, one of the best known and busiest roads in the capital. Its location is considered "ideal" by the College of Physicians "due to its proximity, connection, ease of parking and being close to the main hospitals and primary care centers of Arrecife".
From the College of Physicians it is explained that, at the request of the members, the members of the representation body of Lanzarote, "always attentive to the demands of colleagues on the island", saw that it was time to grow in space and comforts that were available until now. Thus, they analyzed the feasibility of finding a new property "with many more advantages", in order to cover the new and current needs, after more than twenty years in the current headquarters.
As explained, the current headquarters dates from the year 2000 and was acquired in property. It is located in a central building in Arrecife and met the requirements that were needed at that time, given the volume of activities and the number of members on the island at that time.
However, the new building has "many advantages and possibilities" compared to the old one, an apartment in the city center, with more than two decades of use. The new headquarters consists of its own building with direct entrance at street level, two floors, mezzanine and walkable roof. In short, the surface amounts to 620 useful square meters.
Among its main characteristics, the interior is diaphanous on both floors, "which will allow it to be configured for current and future needs, for training".
