Germany – Installation of Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems – Renovation and Expansion of Klinikum Altmühlfranken Phase 1 (Subsection 1a)

In 2008, Klinikum Altmühlfranken in Weißenburg was expanded with a specialist center. Now, due to age-related issues and deficiencies in space and functionality, the hospital will undergo a comprehensive renovation and expansion in two phases. This application includes the construction and equipment planning for Phase 1, which consists of two subsections: BA1A and BA1E. In Phase 1, the existing functional building will be replaced by a new building (BA1A), which will then be renovated and repurposed (BA1B). Additionally, the existing entrance hall will be expanded and renewed (BA1E). BA1A - New Building: The new building in the southeast of the site is designed as a compact structure with an ideal floor plan and direct access to the main entrance. It will house all core functions of the hospital: - Basement: Central Sterilization Supply Department, laboratory, changing rooms, archive, laundry exchange point, technical area - Ground Floor: Emergency and outpatient entrance, radiology, endoscopy, functional diagnostics, delivery - 1st Floor: Operating department with same-day surgery, intensive care, on-call service - 2nd Floor: Technical area The floor plan includes a centrally located public access axis oriented east-west, with individual functional areas and vertical access via an elevator core. An interior courtyard will also be created on the 1st floor to ensure adequate lighting for the relevant departments. This tailored new building will optimize hospital operations and eliminate the primary functional deficiencies of the existing structure. The independent construction of the new functional building BA1A will allow ongoing operations in the existing facility to continue without disruption. BA1E - New Building/Renovation of Entrance Hall: The new building and its connection to the existing structure will create a new entrance situation and a forward-looking urban appearance for the hospital. The existing entrance hall will be expanded and leveled at the entrance level, providing a clear and distinct access point. The entrance hall, located centrally within the hospital, will be completely renovated and will house general functions: - Ground Floor: Service facilities with reception/post office, pastoral care, and social services - Upper Floors: Access areas with waiting areas During this renovation, a temporary main entrance will be established from the north at the transition to the new building. BA1B - Renovation of Existing Structure, Outlook (not part of this application): After relocating the core functions of the hospital to the newly constructed BA1A, the original functional building will be remodeled to accommodate the following functions: - Basement: Supply/disposal, storage, housekeeping and transport services, maintenance/repair, waste disposal, pharmaceuticals, technical area - Ground Floor: Physical therapy, medical services, on-call service, food service with visitor/staff cafeteria and outdoor area - 1st Floor: Medical services, administration - 2nd Floor: Prayer room, technical area As part of the core renovation, a larger structural intervention will create an interior courtyard on the 1st floor to provide light for the adjacent functions. The entire renovation can be completed in one phase, with only 4 out of 7 existing food services in the basement remaining operational until the new food service on the ground floor is completed and remodeled. BA2 - Phase 2, Outlook (not part of this application): In the second phase, the nursing facilities at Klinikum Altmühlfranken in Weißenburg will be modernized. This will involve two options: - Renovation and expansion of existing nursing homes - New nursing facilities next to the newly constructed functional building BA1A, which is ideally positioned and designed to connect with new nursing structures.
