AARHUS UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, DENMARK BJARKE INGELS GROUP (BIG)
A new Neuroscience Centre designed by BIG at Aarhus University Hospital will bring together psychiatry and neuroscience under one roof to combine groundbreaking science and treatment of physical and mental diseases including brain, spinal cord and nervous systems. The 20,000 m2 design mimics the form of the human brain to use the constrained site area most efficiently while “creating synergies between the different disciplines within the hospital,” said the architects. The six-storey building, due to open in 2026, will connect directly with the existing hospital campus and will “seek to intensify the hospital’s unique approach combining healthcare, education and scientific research to collaborate and inspire each other.” The proposal “folds” the floor plan around an atrium, allowing each floor to reach the necessary square footage within a limited area, while creating “a number of connections and smaller clusters” including intimate workspaces, courtyards and views between each floor. From a large open atrium at the centre of the building, visitors head directly to one of the upstairs clinics, or the café and a public green courtyard at ground level. The red concrete of the exterior will blend with the existing brick buildings and bring warmth to the spaces, “contrasting the usual clinical and sanitised white environment of hospitals.” All office areas are planned to be naturally ventilated, and every floor has access to an outdoor terrace. A “stretched” metal window mesh prevents glare or direct sunlight to workspaces, providing filtered natural light to offices, laboratories and examination rooms. The project is targeting Danish DGBN Gold sustainability certification for hospitals.
