High-Tech Medical Center
University Emergency Center
Centerpiece of the clinic campus: As the new main entrance and multidisciplinary first point of contact for patients, the UNZ plays a decisive key role at Rostock University Medical Center. Highly-efficient structures are improving both the medical treatment of patients and the working conditions of staff.
The new high-tech University Emergency Center was designed to act as the link between the existing clinics and as a hub for all the medical functions of the entire campus. The urban planning challenge was to sensitively position a new building with a clearly legible identity within the ensemble of the existing buildings. Thanks to its highly-functional layout and state-of-the-art equipment and interior design, the UNZ sets a new benchmark for medical treatment.
Smart spatial program
The various functional departments of the facility were previously arranged decentrally and distributed across the campus as autarkic clinics. In order to bring these together in the UNZ, we developed a spatial concept that seeks to ensure both an economically efficient and organizationally optimized operation. A particularly well-structured concept for logistics and the movement of individuals around the campus ensures optimal patient care with the help of simple orientation and minimal distances – inside the building and to and from the other functional areas.
The demands on modern hospital architecture are huge. As well as the complexity of a hospital, there are high hygiene and fire and sound protection requirements and a well-thought-out interior design concept, efficient personnel management, and high-tech medical equipment. In addition to this, the building should also have the highest urban design and architectural quality and put patients first.

Healing environment
The UNZ contains everything that a modern clinic requires if it is to meet international standards: from the central emergency admissions with rooftop helicopter landing pad via modern functional diagnostics areas to state-of-the-art laboratories and nursing stations. In addition to economically efficient structures, it was also important to the client to create a pleasant atmosphere for both personnel and for patients as they return to good health. This is why the interior design concept makes full use of natural materials such as wood in the light-filled spaces, which enjoy a great variety of views towards the green surroundings and the park.
