HOSPITAL OF LIGHT Schwarzwald-Baar Hospital is one of the most modern and effective general hospitals in the southwestern German state of Baden-Württemberg. Located atop a hill in the midst of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald), the hospital has been dubbed the “hospital of light”. Every space within the hospital, from the patient rooms with expansive windows to the main foyer with a sweeping skylight and passageways with floor-to-ceiling glass, has been designed to welcome natural light and allow occupants to experience the nearby natural beauty from inside. The building is organized around 11 interior courtyards. The courtyards, some of which are en-closed on all sides and some with access to a patient park, allow for sufficient daylight to reach even the ground floor of the eight-story building. Native plant material, pathways and rock-lined pools fill the
courtyards providing “islands of quiet and relaxation”. The design of the building is inspired by the surrounding landscape; rather than building up, the building fits horizontally among the rolling hills. A three-level base building houses outpatient services, laboratories, testing areas, and a floor for technical facilities. The patient bed units are built atop the base building, providing stunning views of external scenery. The building façade’s colored decorative strips under transparent glass add to the welcoming appearance of the hospital. Perched atop the building is a steel rod installation by artist Robert Schad that conveys gestural, dance-like dynamism and concentrated energy. Contrasting the straight rod is a steel loop in front of the hospital meant to describe “turbulent emotions with panache”.

CORRIDOR OF ART The presence of art does much to promote the well-being of the patients at the hospital. The impressive east-west main corridor serves as the heart of the facility, and all of the building’s units are connected either vertically or horizontally so that they can be reached quickly and directly. A 200-meter-long, two-level mural adorns the walls of the hospital‘s main corridor, creating a rhythm along the corridor

through a series of abstract scenes, cartoon strips, and bold color applications. The mural was created by artists Michael Jäger, David Harley, Jürgen Palmtag and Volker Saul, and acts as a wayfinding tool as patients navigate the building. A total of 19 elevators and 15 stairwells allow for vertical movement within the building, connecting the corridor with the 27 nursing wards within the bed units.

STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY The new hospital is not only dedicated to excellence when it comes to the comfort of its patients, but also places a strong focus on state-of-the-art technology. The efficiency in examination and treatment that is necessary for optimal hospital operations is boosted by trailblazing x-ray diagnostics, such as special computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment, two linear accelerators, and four left heart catheterization units. The surgical wing is designed for the highest possible efficiency, with 15 operating rooms located next to each other on one floor. It also features a central patient reception area and access to the intensive care station. Hybrid surgery allows for robot-supported medical imaging in addition to surgical equipment, linked through a navigation system. The connected surgical structures permit the flexible deployment of staff and optimal use of operating rooms.

COMFORTABLE ROOMS WITH A HOTEL FEELING The comfortable care unit is made up of 36 single rooms. The positive effects of daylight on how patients feel was taken into account in the architecture. All of the patient rooms feature expansive windows and low windowsills, not only improving the room’s atmosphere by allowing daylight in, but also providing patients with an excellent view from their beds. A number of amenities are also provided to make the
hospital stay more pleasant, from radio, television, and Internet connections in the rooms to safes in the closets and private bathrooms with a shower. The industrial parquet floor of steamed robinia wood and the large photographs on the walls combine for a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere. The expanded wall paneling hides away medical and technical connections.

DIALOGUE AND HIGH STANDARDS Medicine, research and education are complex and extremely specialized industries. Scientific advancements, the evolution of technology and changes in the political and economic framework require, from architects in particular, great flexibility, efficiency and experience.
in order to be able to analyze construction requirements and to design practical solutions. Only as a team will we be able to create buildings that satisfy the requirements of the future. Our goal is to achieve an intelligent combination of sustainable efforts and integrated concepts.
Since being founded in 1959, HDR TMK architects and engineers have completed more than 1,600 individual projects – of which 42 were new hospital buildings with approximately 12,000 beds, as well as partially new buildings and renovations with approximately 8,000 beds. In the fields of science, we have worked with some of the leading scientific institutions, designing facilities and laboratories for life sciences, physical sciences, translational health sciences, containment and more. We place great value in a trusting partnership with construction professionals
We design flexible spatial structures that improve people’s sense of well-being while allowing for future changes in use. With our distinctive design, our architecture also serves as local landmarks and improves cityscapes. In addition to individual construction projects and initial medical technology packages, we also provide solutions for orientation and logistics systems, existing buildings, and networked functional units. Our integrated approach to design allows us to create the health, research and education centers of the future.

A view from within
A HOSPITAL IN GREEN SURROUNDINGS Johannes Wesling Hospital in Minden is one of the largest and most modern hospital buildings in Germany. In only three years of construction, a hospital complex was formed out of the merger of two hospitals on the outskirts of Minden in the Weser Uplands. The new complex is marked by its spaciousness and transparency, and features the atmosphere of an art gallery in addition to all of its state-of-the-art technical equipment. The primary intent of the design was the creation of a hospital “in green surroundings.” The placement of the individual building units along two
connecting glass corridors allows for it to be integrated exceptionally well into the surrounding landscape. The green areas created by landscape architects between the building modules provide, together with the adjacent pool of water, for a harmonious park area for patients and visitors alike, promoting relaxation and regeneration. This lends Johannes Wesling Hospital an open, welcoming character, inviting one to linger, thereby boosting confidence in the institution. Patients‘ feel relaxed and comfortable in this sort of environment which promotes healing recovery in a holistic fashion.
Johannes Wesling Hospital, Minden
25
FREEDOM TO DESIGN Due to its location on the outskirts of Minden, the architects did not need to take urban regulations into account, making it possible to design a more ideal project. The final plans were implemented on the basis of an operational concept for efficient and optimized processes that take DRGs into account. The heart of Minden’s Johannes Wesling Hospital is the 300-meter-long section that stretches the length of the entire building, including reception, diagnosis, and treatment areas.

SUSTAINABILIT Y The provision of sustainable energy from biomass heating and photovoltaic systems along with green roofs used to collect rainwater are all examples of how even a very large hospital can be mindful of the environment. A mix of different energy sources is used to fuel the facility, with a woodchip unit meeting basic needs with approximately 40 to 45 percent of
the hospitals entire annual heat budget. Regional energy sources complete the mix. A ground heat exchanger is used to precool (in summer) or preheat (in winter) outside air with no additional energy costs, so that all of the hospital‘s rooms and wards are ventilated and, in summer, slightly air conditioned. This reduces both heating needs and carbon emissions.

HOLISTIC PL ANNING Decisions that are crucial to the success of public buildings need to be made before any of the construction itself is planned. We place this planning process at the intersection of three core areas: Consulting We place great value in a trusting collaboration with construction professionals and all who are involved in the process. Whether this involves completely new construction projects, renovations and conversions of currently operational sites, or issues involving energy optimization – a holistic approach to each project phase is of importance to us and we provide comprehensive and expert advice to this end. Development We develop ecological concepts for new and sustainable construction projects as well as goal-oriented improvements. We begin by looking at what has come before and reconcile construction and operational factors with future goals. Our planning
efforts are based on particular efforts toward an interdisciplinary and spatial networking of functions. Efficient operational processes can only be safeguarded by a well-engineered interplay of all building functions. Implementation We offer all the elements of the planning process as a single provider – coordinating and integrating structural engineering services, technical building equipment, security systems, fire safety, and the planning of exterior areas. As healthcare and laboratory consulting specialists, we also provide expert planning in medical and lab technology. Our international team of experts is poised for work on any complex teaching and research institutions as well. Led by experienced HDR TMK architects and engineers, we are able to design and plan functional and cost-efficient buildings.

CONNECTING OLD AND NEW The expansion of Rudolf Virchow District Hospital in Glauchau involved a modern operational building with an excellent connection to the previous building. The new Building 18 with its focus on internal medicine and ophthalmology fits in well at the site without at all concealing its own contemporary design. The conjoining corners of the wings allow for the nursing stations to be centrally located with connected operational areas and short distances within the station areas. The overlap includes the traffic hub of the complex, with vertical connections,
and quick access to all other directions. The different hospital departments can be used by staff from other areas through the connection to the main hub in Building 1 (rotunda) across three levels. The functional diagnostics / endoscopy and clinical services departments are particularly easy to reach from the other buildings with clear connections there. This allows existing operating processes to be improved, reducing caregiver footsteps and enabling them to spend more time providing patient care.

THE HOSPITAL AS A SMALL TOWN The new building for the maximum care hospital in the Buch section of Berlin completes the historical hospital complex built by Ludwig Hoffmann, the Berlin architect and city director of urban development, in the 1920s and 1930s. Tying into the structures of the pathways and buildings of the time-honored site, a functionally dense yet transparent building complex was built with great inner flexibility. The goal of the project was to host 23 specialized wards, institutes, departments, and clinics, which had previously been located at five different sites and more than 100 separate buildings. All throughout, the design of the new hospital complex was anchored in the basic city structures
and orientation systems, with Berlin-Buch Hospital interpreted here as a small town, not least due to its size, and constructed in accordance with the ideas of streets (corridor), squares (atrium), and buildings (building). Six buildings for patient rooms and a central surgery center with 18 surgery rooms are, for example, to be found grouped around six glass atria placed along a corridor that ties everything together. At the beginning of the corridor, patients and visitors are received in a two-level lobby with an adjacent restaurant, cafĂŠ, and a chapel in the middle. One can reach, via the corridor, the four-floor atria, flooded with daylight, as well as the individual building sections.

TRANSPARENT CENTER The six large atria form the center of the bed units, serving as attractive interior points of orientation and places for patients and visitors to congregate. These areas have a clear view, both horizontal and vertical, of all of the building’s levels. The hospital’s activities thus become transparent for both patients and visitors
and boost trust in the institution. Combining functional flexibility and transparent, sustainable architecture, the hospital will be able to meet the necessities of the future, while also fulfilling the demanding requirements of the old complex as a heritage-protected landmark

ARCHITECTURAL EFFICIENCY We have been designing visionary, sustainable, and holistic buildings for healthcare and research for over 50 years. The atmosphere and surroundings of a hospital or its method of construction are just as important in bring about a feeling of well-being as are air and light. It is our goal to create places and spaces in which people feel good, are able to regain their health, or enjoy their workplace – in which the external surroundings inspire what goes on inside the building. We therefore place great value in the interaction of bright, natural materials and harmonious colors. Creative design accents, in an interplay with the structure of materials and the
functional workings of furnishings, all play a major role in establishing a system of orientation. Our goal is to bring about a holistic spatial and working atmosphere conducive to recovery, discovery and education, depending on the building type. We pursue the goal of efficient working processes and “pathways” through the clear and transparent architectural language in addition to the functionality of our buildings. Thanks to a well-developed working and coordination process, we will continue to be able to carry out future construction projects featuring a complex interplay of economic, technical, and architectural efficiency.

RECOVERING IN GREEN SURROUNDINGS The healing power of nature, views of water, and green surroundings — all vibrant features conducive to rest and meditation — are elements that Erfurt’s St. Johann Nepomuk Hospital puts to good architectural use. The building opens up onto the health park like a comb, seemingly permeated by green throughout. While the health park serves the general public, the interior courtyards are reserved for patient use. This is made evident by
the large pool of water that carefully separates the two areas. The interior courtyards feature Christian themes such as the Cross, the Ten Commandments, and the Twelve Apostles, which have been realized by landscape architects, and which have a positive effect on the patients’ health and well-being, whether they are in the yards or viewing them from the windows of their rooms.

ALL-IN-ONE FACILIT Y The new central building for the interdisciplinary surgery center provided the previously spread out Dresden-Friedrichstadt Hospital with a new center. The complex includes general surgery, trauma surgery, orthopedics, gynecology, urology, and anesthesia. The new Building C (IOZ), moreover, includes the emergency department, medical reception, functional diagnostics, and radiology. This new layout has served to optimize the operational processes, implementing a direct connection to the surgical center. In addition to the examination and treatment
areas, there are two intensive therapy wards with a total of 28 intensive care and four intermediate care beds as well as five nursing wards with a total of 172 planned beds. A roof helipad is directly connected to the emergency department, with surgery rooms ideally placed on the roof as well. The newly equipped central sterilization unit for the entire hospital also contributes toward ensuring that the hospital’s distances are short and that supply and waste systems are efficient. The hospital pharmacy is also centrally located on the ground floor.

LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILIT Y The maintenance of buildings entails considerable cost for operators with regard to heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, and the operation of internal systems. The minimization of energy and other means of operation is hence an important factor in the success of buildings. Our sustainable projects are anchored in the ecological use of building structures in addition to innovative ideas in construction and design. For us, sustainability also means keeping in mind the quality of life of generations to come. Our experts are well informed about the latest trailblazing trends and ecological certification systems (e. g. DGNB, BNB, LEED und BREEAM).
Energy-saving ideas, measures to reduce emissions, and calculations of lifecycle costs are all important components in concepts for sustainable buildings. We place value in the long-term use of buildings, make use of recyclable construction products, and prioritize space-saving construction, the employment of supplies that save energy and resources, and planning for short distances. For every project, we strike the right balance between sustainability and progress in combination with a clear architectural language.

An outpatient surgery and an aseptic surgery area were also added to the hospital. The expansion of the surgery department was carried out in part through the use of
glass and using state-of-the-art technical equipment. The lighting, producing different light scenarios, was a particular feature. Additional rooms continue to be completed as part of the project, while an internal elevator is being installed in the interior courtyard, and the central climatic control expanded and overhauled.

MATHIAS HOSPITAL, RHEINE
Academy for health professions
Net floor area: 496 m² | Gross floor area: 1,162 m² | Gross volume: 4,098 m³ Planning and construction: 2008 – 2010 Cost: 3.5m euros The Alte Michaelschule is located in the southeast part of Mathias Hospital in Rheine. The U-shaped building, built in the early 20th century, is home to a school for medical professions where around 250 students work towards their qualification in various areas of healthcare. The project involved expanding the school. The two, two-story expansion buildings fit in carefully with the previously existing buildings. The horizontal structure of the façade as a post-and-beam construction
meets the standards of contemporary architecture, and permits a high level of natural lighting as well as ventilation and exhaust systems. The nearly support-free construction expands on the spatial capacities and fulfills the requirements of a modern school building, enhanced by media technology appropriate for educational use. The restrained color scheme, both internal and external, mediates between the new modern design and the previous buildings.

PIRBRIGHT INSTITUTE, ENGLAND
Research and laboratory building
Net floor area: 11,065 m² | Gross floor area: 16,300 m² | Gross volume: 142,000 m³ Planning and construction: 2010 – 2014 Cost: over 100m euros (confidential) In the countryside of Surrey, England, a new containment facility for the Pirbright Institute will revolutionize the way people work with viral diseases affecting animal health. Based on careful responses to assessed risk, the design satisfies security and containment requirements for high-consequence animal disease research within a highly interactive environment. The design ushers in a new paradigm for Category 4 bio-containment, in which researchers work in labs and offices with large windows and expansive views, gather in an open light-filled atrium, and eat in the cafeteria—all within the containment
boundary. A radical departure from traditional bunker-like Category 4 containment facilities, this new model is safer, enhances research productivity, and is exponentially more comfortable and pleasant for researchers and staff. Through an in-depth understanding of the facility‘s user groups and their preferred and optimal work processes, we developed a new approach to containment that resulted in this safe, collaborative and light-filled work environment—a place where people want to be.

UNIVERSITY KLINIKUM OF SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN (UKSH) Modernization project - Public-Private Partnership Net floor area: 64,000 m² | Gross floor area: 127,000 m² | Gross volume: 486,000 m³ Planning and construction: 2014 – 2021 Cost: 260m euros In 2014, the BAM/VAMED consortium, which includes HDR|TMK, JSWD Architekten, Sander Hofrichter Architekten and TSJ Architekten, was awarded the modernization project for the UKSH Kiel and Lübeck campuses. The project, which follows a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) delivery model, is valued at approximately US $1.9 billion (€1.7 billion), making it the largest PPP project to ever be undertaken in Germany. Altogether, the project involves approximately 2.7 million sq. ft. (255,300 m²) of extensive new construction, renovation of existing health and research buildings, and preservation of historic buildings.
HDR | TMK and JSWD Architekten are working on the Kiel campus. The architectural design unifies both campuses and become the new corporate architecture for the UKSH brand. The Kiel project will centralize 21 clinics currently scattered throughout the campus into a 1.3 million sq. ft. (127,000 m²) facility. The estimated construction cost is US $290 million (€260 million). When complete in 2021, both the Kiel and Lübeck campuses will feature a cohesive design language and iconic facilities that will push healthcare, research and innovation to new heights.

HELMHOLTZ CENTER MUNICH
Center of Integrated Diabetes Research
Net floor area: 6,500 m² | Gross floor area: 12,500 m² | Gross volume: 54,000 m³ Planning and construction: 2013 – 2017 Cost: 48m euros (net) The aim of the competition won in 2013 was to create a modern building at the Helmholtz Center, Munich, for a Center of Integrated Diabetes Research (CIDR), which would permit an optimal integrative approach to diabetes research. In addition to putting in place the best possible infrastructure for research work, CIDR is also intended to support interaction and communication among the researchers at different institutions and working groups. The underlying idea of the design for the new CIDR complex is the optimal interplay of functions with an efficient use of surface area and its translation into sophisticated and dynamic architecture. The architecture is to represent a spatial ex-
pression of modern process planning that is adaptable to the future. The separate sections of the complex are connected through a well-lit atrium. The individual levels can be seen through the intermediary space, combining for a clear and friendly atmosphere, with the atrium as the building’s communicative center. The open design makes it easier to find one’s way and allows the atrium to become a marketplace of knowledge and ideas. Modular lab surfaces and common, openly designed seminar rooms and communications areas in the office area and atrium lend support to interdisciplinary work.

FIRM PROFILE We look back with pride on over 50 years of our firm’s involvement in designing buildings for health, research and education. When Gerhard Thiede founded his architecture firm specializing in healthcare construction he laid the foundation for what would become a tradition into the future. In 2013, our firm joined global design firm HDR, and our company name is now HDR TMK Planungsgesellschaft mbH. With the support of their office managers and team leaders, Guido Messthaler, Harald Klösges, Michael Keitel, and Johannes Kresimon now manage one of Germany’s most successful architecture firms. Going forward, we are HDR‘s European center for planning in healthcare, research, and technology design. We develop visionary, sustainable, and holistic buildings with our team of roughly 200 employees – architects, engineers, construction technicians, interior architects, graphic designers, visualizers, and a separate planning department for health-
care and laboratory consulting. We follow through on our projects from the initial ideas, feasibility studies, and target planning, through to building designs and implementation, and finally the building’s operational opening. Our goal is to develop functional and ecological projects that are able to adapt to the future, and in which people take center stage. If customers so choose, we provide all necessary services “under one roof”. In addition to plans for new buildings, we also provide consulting on the optimization of existing buildings, and work together with our customers on concepts for optimal, interdisciplinary, and spatial networking. We also focus on the personal supervision of our construction professionals, with whom we maintain a collegial and active relationship. In this way, we can create places in which people can regain their health, work, and conduct research.
