The Charité University hospital in Berlin wanted to renovate the existing operating rooms and the associate roof areas. The location of this renovation is at the Benjamin Franklin Campus, Hindenburgdamm 30, 12220 Berlin.
With the renovation of the operating rooms we took measures to achieve sustainable, spatial, functional, medical, and technical improvements.
The aim of this project is a needs-based operating center with high cost-effectiveness, which guarantees the ability to innovate in medical technology, technical operability, improving safety and eliminating hygienic deficiencies. After more than 40 years without a complete renovation, the existing technical systems, the medical equipment and the structural substance are not meeting today’s requirements anymore. The necessary fire protection is not sufficient anymore as well. Hygienic deficiencies and crossings in the operational processes are taking place in the old situation. From today’s point of view, the existing spatial structures do not allow efficient operational processes. The costs for maintenance and accidents also take an incalculable risk, as the spare parts are no longer available. In the area above the surgical department, a roof renovation is essential due to numerous accidents, water damage and fire protection. Previous work could only be carried out partially for financial reasons.
The surgical department on the 6th floor of the treatment building VB, building 5013 is housed in 4 quadrants. The planning includes quadrant QI and QIV as well as the midde zone for the recovery room and the PACU. The two (existing) quadrants on the norther side are integrated into the overall concept and at the same time offer the option of also enabling an overall solution after a future renovation. On the 5th floor, the staff changing rooms and lockers are located in quadrant Q IV. During the roof renovation on the 7th floor, all quadrants I-IV above the surgery rooms were renovated. The roof renovation is limited tot he technical center above the 7th floor. The fassades of the technical centers were renovated too.
