Hospital Planner & Architects

The architecture and design of hospitals are of major importance. They create the foundation for optimal clinical workflows, minimized workload for hospital personnel and ideal patient care.

A key component of design and architecture is supply. Specific areas of the hospital need connections for compressed air, vacuum, and medical gases such as oxygen. Operating rooms and wards require media hookups for video signals, light and power. Proper provisioning is absolutely essential for smooth day-to-day operations.

The challenges faced in designing, installing and operating supply systems are multi-faceted:

• The technical design and dimensioning of central supply and conduction systems must satisfy not only the current demands placed on architecture and design, but future ones as well.


• In the emergency department, operating room, ICU and in the wards, each workstation must be designed to be ergonomic and adaptable as well as forward-looking.


• All legal and security requirements must be factored in and an appropriate risk management system in place to ensure adherence.


• All hospital areas need a sure supply of medical gases 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
