This paper aims to introduce the architectural design for the headquarters of the Rheumatics Association of Uberlândia and Region (Associação de Reumáticos de Uberlândia e Região - ARUR). This project is a result of an extension program developed by professors, technicians and students in the Projects Laboratory of the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism and Design (Laboratório de Projetos da Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo e Design - FAUeD) at the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU). The activities to be carried out in that space includes physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, acupuncture and occupational therapy and gymnastics. The project envisions rooms for medical, psychological and legal services and seeks to provide an environment for the members to interact, in addition to promoting social events to raise funds for the association.
