Danish hospitals have been co-developing innovative healthcare solutions with the industry for many years. This approach is now extended to a core methodology in a so-called intelligent hospital construction. 5 new national super hospitals are being built and 11 existing hospitals are being renovated.
Fast-moving construction results
Included in the construction of five new national super hospitals is the University Hospital in Aarhus, Denmark, which is being added to the existing Aarhus University Hospital to create one overall hospital complex in the size of a Danish provincial town.
The ultra-modern hospital is designed and organized to flexibly meet future requirements of technology, treatment methods and working methods. It is a pioneering project both in Denmark and internationally when it comes to the concept of ‘healing architecture’.
This relates to every aspect of the hospital’s physical design, from the design of single-bed wards, and the use of daylight and flows of light in all rooms, to straightforward way-finding, flexible functionalities for future development, and the design of the landscape and garden spaces around the hospital.
