PROJECT REPORT: HEALTHCARE BUILD & DESIGN

FLOOR PLAN Intensive care floor (level 7)


came up with a solution of removing a good part of the administration functions from the westerly core building, which is angled to fit alongside the main street. These were moved to the existing ‘thorax’ building to the north. The mantle links all of the core buildings– although they are also linked by glazed corridors and waiting areas, including at high level apart from the ‘trauma centre’, which is topped by a helipad. As well as admin areas, the mantle includes meeting rooms, conference and lecture rooms, as well as staff cafeterias. As Christine Hammarling explains: “There are a lot of facilities where researchers can meet clinicians, share knowledge and develop new treatments.” Offering a more human scale, and cafes, restaurants and pharmacy at ground level, the mantle also helps the building present a friendlier face to the city around it. Hammarling comments: “The aim was to provide a very public building, not an institute, with a clear role in the city. It represents a new attitude to hospital design, a more urban and inviting kind of building.”


The overall plan is based around a concept of elective patients (i.e. non emergency) coming into to the hospital horizontally at the western end of the hospital, while acute patients enter via A&E at the eastern end. The medical organisation runs vertically through the core buildings, with the research functions conceptualised as running horizontally

across the site, including out into the Academic Mall, a public outdoor park which runs along the north elevation of the building.


This is a lively external space which connects the building with the Institute’s research facilities to the north, including via skybridges running overhead. At the end of the green outdoor ‘Mall’ is a pedestrian and cycle bridge linking across the street to the Aula Medica auditorium, and uniting the institute with the hospital in a new way.


From a distance the building appears as one unified urban block – it was designed to continue the rhythm of the adjacent Stenstaden neighbourhood next door. However being deep planned to maximise its site, important permeability and daylighting is provided by internal courtyards, and a road running north-south through the building. In addition, a new square has been created in front of the main entrance.


There is a single main entrance, but some individual departments have their own entrance, notably radiation therapy which is in an underground bunker. Hammarling says this functions as a “specific unit, and needed to provide a specific entrance.”


Patient rooms


The single patient rooms are large, and bright, with a 3.2 metre floor to ceiling height, 2.7 metre high windows enhanced by ash frames, and enough space
