Aarhus New University Hospital : Architecture

Location: Jutland, Denmark Architects: Arkitektfirmaet C. F. Møller Building images, Apr 2008: The large hospital complex will be organised like a town, with a hierarchy of neighbourhoods, streets and squares providing the basis for a diverse, dynamic and green urban area. The complex is divided up into professional communities with their own identities, for better clarity. The hospital town consists of three main elements: a two-storey base with treatment departments, wards which rise above the base to a height of four storeys, and the "Forum" – the central arrivals area, where the public functions are located at the foot of three New University Hospital blocks. The New University Hospital blocks will house the hospital's administration, research facilities and patient hotel, respectively. On the ground floor will be the main reception area and the outwardly-directed functions, such as the conference centre, shops, bank, cinema and other service functions.
