The campus and its buildings should bring together sociability practices between the university population and the outside community. Such practices happen in teaching, research and extension. Especially in health facilities these activities require organized complex buildings and a set of support structures, such as free spaces, parking lots and specialized maintenance areas. In this work, a new set of Dental Clinics and its support facilities is proposed for the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina’s dentistry course. The programmatic organization aimed at the university’s community of other teaching centers and the population outside the university is explored. These practices are understood as inherent and beneficial to the public university’s existence, especially in a context of resource contingency. Even though some programmatic configurations are regulated by strict legislation, changing academic needs require flexible buildings capable of housing ever-changing programs. The project is considered as a possibility to reinforce the interaction between academy and population and between nature and the built environment, attitudes substantiated by the place of implementation and the architectonic party of the ensemble. Exploring alternatives to the current production of the learning space, we seek to bring the campus closer to its nature and multidisciplinary practices.
