The intention with the new service building is to unite several functions, which used to be spread across the hospital area, under one roof. This includes medicine supply, goods delivery, lab tests, laundry, offices, canteen and conference rooms. The aim is to upgrade the entire infrastructure to ensure more effective service and daily operations.

Integrating diverse requirement into one automated building

Acobia – part of Init was in charge of the integration of all technical systems and facilities in this high complexity project where several functionalities had to be accommodated in one building.

For instance, the building houses a laboratory which is coupled to the different hospital care units through functional systems for transportation of samples, e.g. an intricate pneumatic tube system. The laboratory also has an advanced piping system which enables staff to tap ethanol, formalin, and Xylen directly from the faucets in the lab.

Transport intensive functions like goods delivery, meal delivery, waste handling, postal and package handling, etc. require rooms with direct access to cargo area – where shunting areas with loading dock is of high importance. The building also encompasses power plant, dressing rooms, cooling facilities, safe rooms, sprinkler systems and administration.
