The newly-built surgical wing on the north-east side of the existing building is the first step in a series of new developments at Siegen District Hospital.

X-ray diagnostics and the accident and emergency department are housed on the ground floor, directly next to the interdisciplinary admissions area and adjacent to the existing entrance. The organisation of all processes in these departments is co-ordinated via the central co-ordinations office. The new building is completed by being linked to the extended entrance area.

On the first floor the five operating theatres have been arranged as a cluster with separate areas for

instrumentation and pre-operative patient reception. A holding area combined with the recovery room is lit by daylight and enables patients to be transported over short distances just in time for, during, and after their operation.

The technical areas necessary for the operating theatres are located directly above the theatres. Medical services and a multi-functions room continue to be located on this floor.

The main part of the building fits well into the whole hospital complex by means of the carefully detailed façade. Generous glazing of the patient waiting areas makes for light, transparent and open structures.
