GOLD COAST HOSPITAL

Gold Coast University Hospital (abbreviated GCUH or GCH, and

sometimes Gold Coast Uni Hospital) is a major teaching hospital is offering
tertiary level district general hospital in the Gold Coast, Australia, completed in
September 2013.[1] The hospital was built on the Greenfields site adjacent
to Griffith University Gold Coast campus at a cost of $1.8 billion.
Construction commenced on 16 December 2008 when Queensland Premier
Anna Bligh turned the first sod. The land was previously occupied by a
church, a section of the Southport Lawn Cemetery, and undeveloped
acreage. Bovis Lend Lease built the hospital.
The university hospital incorporated new specialist services
including cardiac surgery, neurosciences, trauma and neonatal intensive care;
these were not available at the previous Gold Coast Hospital. The hospital
has seven main buildings, with a total floor space of approximately
170,000 m2 (1,800,000 sq ft) (excluding car parks). The main nine-level-high
building is topped with a helicopter landing site.
On 27 September 2013, Queensland Health officially shut down services at
the Gold Coast Hospital, and transferred the remaining patients from the old
Gold Coast Hospital to the new Gold Coast University Hospital.

As one of Queensland’s largest clinical teaching and research facilities, they

have seven main buildings and a total floor space of about 170,000 square
meters.
Their emergency department continues to be one of the busiest in
Queensland.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL HEIDELBERG

University Hospital Heidelberg (German: Universitätsklinikum Heidelberg) is

a university hospital in Heidelberg, Germany and is with 1,991 beds one of the
largest medical centers in the country.[1][2] It is closely linked to Heidelberg
University Medical School (Heidelberg University Faculty of Medicine) which
was founded in 1388 and is thus the oldest within the Federal Republic of
Germany.[3][4]
With approximately 800,000 outpatients and 100,000 inpatients treated each
year, the University Hospital is one of the ten largest hospitals in Germany. Its
reputation extends beyond the country's borders.
In ultra-modern clinics geared to the needs of patients, all diseases, especially
severe and complex clinical pictures, are treated by outstanding physicians
and medical assistants. The latest research findings are always taken into
account to ensure the best possible therapy.
The hospital has 22 functioning departments. All patient rooms are modern
and pleasant single and double rooms. Individual accommodation
requirements (single room) will be considered as far as possible by
agreement with the treating department. In exceptional cases we can arrange
to accommodate an escort in the patient room. Our patients and escorts have
the choice of three or more menus every day including vegetarian and halal
choices. If your state of health necessitates a special diet, we would be
pleased to take them into consideration. Christian services are held regularly
in the chapels attached to the hospital and a prayer room on the hospital
grounds is available for Muslim patients.
The Heidelberg Medical Campus is one of the most modern medical
complexes in Europe. More than 40 specialist departments organized in 14
hospital buildings are connected by underground infrastructure for supply and
transport structures. This ensures short distances and bundles most medical
specialties within a radius of two kilometers. Since 2004, the goal of a
compact campus is being achieved by new, modern buildings on campus:

The Clinical Research Unit (KliPS) for the conduct of GCP-compliant studies.
It is fully integrated into the Heidelberg University Hospital and has immediate
access to all diagnostic (incl. PET) and therapeutic procedures (intensive care
units, 24-hour access(ibility) to specialists) of one of Germany’s largest high-
capacity university hospitals
 Jacobs Medical Center

To position itself as a leading

medical research institution, UC
San Diego (UCSD) Health
transformed its advanced medical
center into a world-class
destination for patient-first care.
Connected to UCSD’s existing
Thornton Hospital and located
adjacent to a new research facility,
the 245-bed building is a
translational medical center in the
truest sense — facilitating the
convergence of research,
education and world-class clinical
care.

Although one building, the 10-story

hospital functions as three
hospitals — housing centers for women and infants, cancer care and specialty
surgery. The building’s overall curvilinear form was driven by the design of the
patient units, but also by advanced modeling to capitalize on views, maximize
daylight and minimize solar gain and glare. The geometry creates a subtle
continuous flowing curve of the exterior — a dynamic form that changes as
one passes around the building’s perimeter. Integrated into the exterior are a
number of elevated gardens and terraces that bring nature up to the patient
level.
The organic nature of the exterior translates to the interior to create an
intentional and natural flow. The patient rooms are equipped with modern
finishes, and an award-winning custom headwall seamlessly combines all
necessary elements and equipment into one sculptural element. All patient
rooms are also equipped with an iPad that can be operated from the bedside,
empowering patients to customize their environments and securely view their
treatment schedules and medical records.
The hospital, which opened in November 2016 after more than a decade of
planning and construction, combines the highest-quality advanced care with
upscale amenities, architecturally significant design, and future-focused
technology to usher in a new era in specialty inpatient care.
Jacobs Medical Center at UC San Diego Health is a 364-bed advanced
medical center that is home to inpatient care, surgical facilities, outpatient
clinics, a blood bank and a pharmacy. It is connected to Perlman Medical
Offices and includes Thornton Pavilion, an inpatient facility formerly known as
Thornton Hospital. It is within walking distance of Sulpizio Cardiovascular
Center, Shiley Eye Institute and Moores Cancer Center. The special features
of our 10-story Jacobs Medical Center, which opened in 2016, include:
10 operating rooms (ORs), including a four-OR intraoperative imaging suite
designed to support the most advanced brain and spine surgeries. A floor
dedicated to blood and marrow transplantation patients, with a full-floor air
filtration system that enables immunocompromised patients to leave their
treatment rooms to walk, exercise in a gym, and visit family and friends. Care
for every kind of birth, including three rooms within a midwifery-staffed Birth
Center, 32 private postpartum rooms with foldout beds for family members,
and a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with 52 private rooms.
Dedicated family areas with lounges and kitchenettes on each inpatient floor.
Rooftop helicopter landing pad. A 150-piece therapeutic art collection.
Bundang Seoul National University Hospital
Established in 2003, Bundang Seoul National University Hospital is located in
a metropolitan area with high demand for medical services and excellent
accessibility, and has a good natural environment adjacent to Bulgok
Mountain and Tancheon.

In order to quickly solve such problems and to enter into a new development
phase, Bundang Seoul National University Hospital decided to choose a
contractorfor turn-keybased construction. Starting in Summer 2009, this
project was finally completed in Spring 2013 through detailed design, design
change process, construction work of three years and continuous design
support after we were selected as the qualified architect for the detailed
design through deliberation on December 30, 2009.
For the lower parts, glass and terracotta panel are used as the main exterior
materials. Terracotta finishing material, as a clay material like brick, creates
the hospital's warm and eco image and makes a proper contrast and balance
to the sharpness and refinement of the glass. In particular, the three-
dimensional pattern using terracotta panel and lumber is extended to the main
building from the new building. It works to combine the two buildings.
The upper floor's ward should have an advanced image of the future
andexpress the new hospital's image. However, because it is placed at the
entrance, it is likely to impede the main building's representation and to deter
the hospital's awareness. Therefore, we designed it with the shape of going
back gradually by approach line in order to minimize the visual interference
with the main building. We also made the layout along the outdoor transition
zone flow and tried to maintain the independence of each by properly
separating from the main building's wards.
In order to respond to unavoidable western ward arrangement and noises
from the front entrance, the advanced double skin facade system has been
applied to the ward's front at Bundang Seoul National University Hospital, a
first among hospitals in Korea. Because the double facade system is
equipped with a separate external motor-driven roll screen, it can minimize
glare and damage caused by direct solar radiation.
Through an individual control in the patient's room and multi-colored screens,
it can be utilized as a new design element, giving diverse changes and
vividness to the curtain wall. Also, the temperature control function of
intermediate space between the outer wall and double skin facade reduces
the system loading, which results in the reduction of energy consumption. Due
to concerns about cross-infection of patients' rooms and the restriction of
construction costs, we did not conduct the work for other parts except the
double skin facade system's nature-vent function.
Each patient's room is equipped with the nature-vent projected window
system that applies some functions of the double skin facade system, so that
it forms the unique and characteristic facade. As the air flow is constantly
maintained through such system, the hospital can produce a pleasant and
refreshing room environment.
Parking spaces are extended by increasing facilities. We aimed at improving
the operating efficiency and maximizing the effect of the extension through the
circulation system's proper control, not physically increasing the
parkingspace.
