Radboudumc Primary Building
Nijmegen, Netherlands
The new primary building of Radboudumc offers a warm, welcoming entrance.
Its opening marks a milestone in the transition to a future-focused healthcare campus—thirty years in the making. With 11 floors and around 46,000 m² of floor space, the building is filled with daylight and greenery, creating a healthy care environment that fosters connection, collaboration, and knowledge exchange. It embodies Radboudumc’s mission: sustainable collaboration for person-centred care with impact on public health.
Adaptive and future-proof
Radboudumc strives for innovative, sustainable, and affordable healthcare. The primary building, developed in synergy with recent campus projects by EGM architects, supports this ambition. Its smart, flexible layout—with strategic logistics zones, adaptable infrastructure, and room for innovation—makes it suitable for a wide range of specialties. This adaptability ensures long-term usability and comfort, promoting excellent, person-focused care now and into the future.
Architecture that supports wellbeing
The building’s design is a modern interpretation of the Bossche School, reflecting values like humanism, scale, and connection to nature. It harmonises with existing heritage buildings on campus. Despite its size, the building feels calm and familiar, thanks to proportional design, clear spatial organisation, and thoughtful routing—all contributing to the wellbeing of patients and staff.
Light and views everywhere
Abundant daylight and green views define the building. A central seven-storey atrium brings light deep inside. Trees, plants, and a fully glazed façade with a folded glass roof connect indoors with nature. Natural light boosts the circadian rhythm and aids recovery. Dynamic lighting and green elements support a healthy indoor climate.
The most sustainable hospital in Western Europe
This is the first university medical centre in the Netherlands to earn a BREEAM-Excellent rating—with the highest hospital score. It features a resource-efficient structure, extensive prefab elements, 700 m² of solar panels, a geothermal energy system, and no fossil fuel use. Biophilic design, sustainable procurement, and circular material choices contribute to making it Western Europe’s most sustainable hospital.
Natural encounters and new ways of working
The building supports modern collaboration, shifting from traditional departments to eleven integrated centres. Open areas like the restaurant, pantries, lounges, and study hubs promote interaction between professionals, patients, and students—key to shaping tomorrow’s healthcare.
Multiple specialties under one roof
Outpatient clinics, inpatient wards, and centres such as Neurology, ENT, Ophthalmology, and Internal Medicine are now co-located. The ground floor hosts reception and preparation zones. Consultation rooms are shared between departments. The 150 single inpatient rooms have private bathrooms and space for caregivers. Rooms adapt to different recovery phases, supported by a smart hospital system. Each ward invites movement, with lounges, small living rooms, and roof gardens nearby.
A green, connected campus
Following Radboudumc’s 2014 vision, the campus has become a unified green park, improving health, accessibility, and innovation. With fewer built square metres, the focus shifts to more personal and efficient care. The new primary building is the linchpin of this transformation.
A shared achievement
King Willem-Alexander officially opened the building, celebrating the dedication of everyone involved. The design was by EGM architects and EGM interior, with Radboudumc’s Project Bureau Bouwzaken and Suzanne Holz Studio. Advisors included Deerns, Aronsohn, Peutz, DGMR, and ptg advies. Construction was led by FourCare (Van Wijnen, Trebbe, Unica, and Engie).
