The most striking characteristics of the new complex are without doubt the “fingers” housing the patients wards which extend northwards from the spine of the surgery wing into the park. The overall structure, which is both compact and open, is rooted in a strong double slab with an east-west orientation: here the emergency department, the operating theatres and the doctors’ offices are located in the northern of the two parallel slabs. Between them there are a number of courtyards, attractively planted and even creatively designed using glass blocks. The wards and intensive stations which are housed in the four north-south wings can be conveniently reached from these central areas. The intensive stations are open spaces with glass partitions that take up almost the entire depth of the wing, a corridor running along the east façade allows one to walk past them. The patients wards in contrast are organised on the traditional central corridor circulation system with central service stations, all the rooms have just one or two beds, patients with general category health insurance are on the first floor, those with additional insurance on the second. At the northern end of these wings open into a lounge and from the lounge onto a terrace – from there the route continues along the attractive passerelles, Mediterranean constructions that are something of a trademark of Dietmar Feichtinger. With their “escape route” function these lovely light steel structures connect the wings to create a single major form, while also allowing space to flow unhindered from the surroundings into the garden-like open courtyards between the “fingers”. The clarity, reasonable dimensions and elegance of this system truly succeed in achieving the hotel-like character promised.
