  • Researchers develop scenarios for Biel hospital site

    Researchers develop scenarios for Biel hospital site

    A new study by the Institute for Settlement, Architecture and Construction at Bern University of Applied Sciences provides initial impetus and possibilities for the further development and valorisation of the vacant hospital site in Biel’s Beaumont district. With the planned relocation of the Biel hospital centre to Brügg, one of the central development focal points for the coming years will be created there.

    According to a press release, the aim was to create a solid knowledge base on which architecturally sound and sustainable decisions can be made. A participatory approach allowed the needs and expectations of the population and relevant interest groups to be taken into account. Their opinions, demands and visions were collected through workshops, surveys and discussion rounds.

    As the study shows, there is the possibility that the site could become a place with a variety of uses that enriches the neighbourhood and becomes accessible and attractive for the entire urban population: “A variety of building types, for example, could enable a broad spectrum of uses, forms of housing and living spaces,” the press release states. “However, as the students’ work shows, the possibilities for valorisation and development of the site are almost limitless.”

    This independent research work by Bern University of Applied Sciences will now be made available to the city of Biel as the planning authority and Spitalzentrum Biel AG as the landowner for further work. In the next step, both will commission a feasibility study.

  • Three cantons unite rehabilitation planning

    Three cantons unite rehabilitation planning

    Die Initiative der drei Kantone, eine kollaborative Spitalplanung für den Rehabilitationssektor zu etablieren, spiegelt das Engagement wider, die Gesundheitsversorgung in der Region zu optimieren. Diese Planung basiert auf einer detaillierten gemeinsamen Bedarfsanalyse und wird in ein konsolidiertes Bewerbungs- und Auswahlverfahren münden, um die Spitallisten effektiv zu gestalten. Rund zwei Drittel der stationären Rehabilitationsaufenthalte der Einwohner aus der Planungsregion finden bereits in den acht bestehenden Kliniken innerhalb der Kantone statt, was die Notwendigkeit einer koordinierten Vorgehensweise unterstreicht.

    Die gemeinsame Bewertung der Bewerbungen soll zu harmonisierten Leistungsaufträgen führen, die eine gleichwertige Behandlungsqualität über die kantonalen Grenzen hinweg gewährleisten. Obwohl die endgültige Entscheidung und der Erlass der Spitallisten individuell von den jeweiligen kantonalen Behörden getroffen werden, zeigt dieser Prozess das Bestreben, die Gesundheitsdienstleistungen zu verbessern und eine kohärente regionale Gesundheitspolitik zu fördern. Die Implementierung der neuen Spitallisten für Rehabilitation ist für den 1. Januar 2025 geplant, was den Weg für eine zukunftsfähige und patientenzentrierte Rehabilitationsversorgung ebnet.

  • Zum umweltfreundlichen Spital mit «Best Practices»

    Zum umweltfreundlichen Spital mit «Best Practices»

    Im Gesundheitssektor wurde der Umweltaspekt bisher oft vernachlässigt. Das Forschungsprojekt „Green Hospital – Ressourceneffizienz bei Schweizer Spitälern“ hat dazu beigetragen, das Bewusstsein für umweltrelevante Prozesse in Schweizer Spitälern zu schärfen. Im Rahmen des Nationalen Forschungsprogramms „Nachhaltige Wirtschaft: ressourcenschonend, zukunftsfähig, innovativ“ (NFP 73) wurde eine Liste von praxisorientierten Maßnahmen veröffentlicht, um Spitäler in ihrer Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie zu unterstützen.

    Die Studie, geleitet von Matthias Stucki am ZHAW-Institut für Umwelt und Natürliche Ressourcen, hat ergeben, dass insbesondere die Bereiche Wärme, Catering, Gebäudeinfrastruktur und Medikamente für den Großteil der Umweltbelastung durch Spitäler verantwortlich sind. Aber auch andere Faktoren wie Stromverbrauch, Abfallmanagement und die Verwendung von medizinischen Produkten spielen eine Rolle.

    Die aus der Studie abgeleiteten „Best Practices“ wurden aus einer Vielzahl von Literaturquellen und Praxisbeispielen zusammengestellt. Diese Massnahmen zielen darauf ab, die Umweltauswirkungen bei gleichbleibender Qualität der Gesundheitsdienstleistungen zu minimieren. Dabei wurde besonderer Wert auf die Auswahl von Maßnahmen mit hoher Klimarelevanz und großer Umsetzbarkeit gelegt.

    Insgesamt zeigt die Studie, dass die größten Chancen für eine Verbesserung der Umweltbilanz in der Konstruktion von langlebigen und ressourceneffizienten Gebäuden, der Nutzung erneuerbarer Energien und der Einführung von pflanzenbasierten Gerichten im Verpflegungsangebot liegen.

    Dieses Forschungsprojekt stellt einen wichtigen Schritt dar, um die schweizerische Krankenhauslandschaft nachhaltiger zu gestalten und setzt einen Meilenstein für zukünftige Initiativen in diesem Bereich.

  • Ecospeed develops software for CO2 balancing of hospitals

    Ecospeed develops software for CO2 balancing of hospitals

    Ecospeed AG will soon begin the so-called roll-out of its software for CO2 balancing of hospitals. According to a media release, the development work is almost complete. “Our goal is to provide hospitals and their operating companies with a very easy-to-use software for the overall balancing of greenhouse gas emissions,” Ecospeed CEO Christoph Hartmann is quoted as saying. “We are building an industry-specific platform for this task.”

    As Hartmann further explains, each hospital will be able to use the software “to determine its individual ‘Corporate Carbon Footprint’. This will enable hospitals to identify fields of action and plan paths for gradual decarbonisation.” It can also be used to document successes. In addition, the hospitals would comply with the future CSR reporting obligation, with which companies in the EU must disclose from 1 January 2024 how and to what extent they fulfil their responsibility with regard to their impact on society and the environment.

    The first pilot customer is a hospital association with 17 clinics in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Initial results are already available. “In terms of direct emissions, there are big differences that can be attributed to the condition of the building envelope and the age and condition of the heating systems,” says Hartmann. “Scope 3 emissions, however, are significantly higher, caused in particular by purchased materials and transport. The collected and processed data give the clinics clear indications of where there is potential for improvement.”

  • Walo realises environment project in the Westfeld Basel neighbourhood

    Walo realises environment project in the Westfeld Basel neighbourhood

    The Dietiker construction company Walo Bertschinger has completed the work on the landscaping of the new Westfeld neighbourhood in Basel. According to a media release on LinkedIn, this environmental project includes the entire outdoor space, plus a narrow Allmend area along Hegenheimerstrasse and part of the area surrounding the Felix Platter Hospital.

    The surrounding project realised by Walo consists largely of publicly accessible areas. Beyond the site, the works complement the open space and footpath offer to connect and revitalise the neighbourhood. The work includes 23,000 square metres of terrain modelling, 8,000 square metres of paving, a fountain and seven tree troughs made of natural stone, the furnishing and all the work on the 2900-metre-long utility lines.

    The forum now stretches between the newly built Felix Platter Hospital and the new Westfeld building and flows into the neighbourhood square in front of the converted hospital building. There is a “carpet” of natural stone slabs there. In contrast to the stone forum and the neighbourhood square, the neighbourhood garden, which has also been laid out, is mainly green and covered with trees.

    Since 2015, a showcase project for a trend-setting residential building culture has been created around the old hospital, which has now been converted into residential space, according to Walo’s statement. More than 500 cooperative flats have been built on the approximately 35,000-square-metre plot, of which around 400 are on the part of the site earmarked for new buildings and around 130 in the converted hospital building. There is also space for neighbourhood uses, services and small businesses. The building cooperative wohnen&mehr has published a video clip on the project.

  • Spital Limmattal invites you to the inauguration of the care center

    Spital Limmattal invites you to the inauguration of the care center

    The Spital Limmattal inaugurates the new care center on Saturday, September 17th. According to the press release , the planning and construction work for this took around ten years. The opening of the care center takes place exactly four years after the start of operations in the new acute hospital.

    In addition to the inauguration and opening of the center for viewing from 11 a.m. in the afternoon, the program for the opening ceremony also includes a concert by the Dietikon town music group on the village square, music for organ, singing, oboe in the hospital chapel and a concert by the LIMMICHor on the village square. Various food and drink stands from the region are available on the festival grounds for your physical well-being.

    The premises of the care center are open to all visitors for free inspection on the opening day. During the tour of the care center, the hospital's partner companies will present insights into what is on offer for future residents, according to the invitation. Their move to the new premises is then scheduled for the following week.

    In addition to the actual care center, there is another "revelation", as the media release says. It's about the stop of the Limmattalbahn. Around three months before the official opening of the Limmattalbahn, the "Health Railway Limmattal" will be ceremonially unveiled at 11 a.m. It can then be explored afterwards.

    As a further attraction, the Spital Limmattal offers visitors the opportunity to sit at the controls of the rescue helicopter in the Air Alpine Ambulance (AAA) flight simulator.

    The opening ceremony is scheduled to end at 4 p.m. The hospital recommends arriving by public transport as there are no parking spaces.

  • Two new buildings next to the Schwyz Hospital

    Two new buildings next to the Schwyz Hospital

    The two new buildings are called House M and House P. In the new house M – the letter stands for multifunctional building – various uses are planned. These include, for example, service areas, staff rooms and areas used for medical purposes. The Schwyz Hospital is expanding its range of oncology services. Part of the area – on the ground floor and on the top floor – is available to external tenants. You benefit from various advantages due to the proximity to the Schwyz Hospital. For example, it is possible to use the restaurant or the seminar rooms in the house. In order to enable the different uses, the building consists of a load-bearing core as well as concrete ceilings and facade supports.

    The new house P (Parking) brings together the currently different parking spaces on the site. The entrance is from Waldeggstrasse and leads through House M into a four-storey, predominantly underground car park without pillars. In addition to the window surfaces, the facade consists of massive, glazed parapet strips. The new surroundings are largely greened and supplemented with trees and bushes. The two buildings should be completed in spring 2022. ■

  • The new “LimmiCura” care center is under construction

    The new “LimmiCura” care center is under construction

    On the site where the high-rise building of the old Limmattal Hospital from 1970 stood until the end of 2019, the new “LimmiCura” care center will be built from 2020 to 2023. In order for the Limmattal Hospital Association to begin implementing the project, the consent of the population was required. This approved the required loan of 65 million francs. The care center, including the day center, three long-term care wards with palliative beds and a rehabilitation floor, is to have 116 rooms: 73 single and 43 double rooms. The new building will have five floors and will be implemented by the architects' office fsp in Spreitenbach. Architecturally, “LimmiCura” is based on the Limmattal Hospital, which was newly opened at the end of 2018. A dementia department with its own garden and a rehabilitation station on the 5th floor with 48 beds are planned. The day center will be located on the ground floor next to the dementia department. The inner courtyards will be accessible. The nursing department is located on floors 2-4. The "LimmiCura" should open in the first quarter of 2023. ■

  • Urdorfer S+U Bau baut Spitalskapelle wieder auf

    Urdorfer S+U Bau baut Spitalskapelle wieder auf

    Bei Errichtung des Neubaus des Spitals Limmattal in Schlieren musste die alte Spitalskapelle weichen. Der Schlieremer Stadtrat beschloss deshalb vor sechs Jahren laut einem Artikel in der „Limmattaler Zeitung“, die Kapelle aus dem Inventar der kulturhistorischen Objekte zu streichen. Sie stand ab da nicht mehr unter Schutz. Allerdings hat der Stadtrat auch einen Vertrag mit dem Spital abgeschlossen, der dieses zu einer möglichst detailgetreuen Rekonstruktion der Kapelle verpflichtet. Es wurde sogar vereinbart, dass es auch wieder einen Teich an der Spitalskapelle geben müsse,

    All das setzt jetzt Stefan Schmid mit seinem Team der S+U Bau AG in Urdorf um. Den Bauauftrag hat sein Unternehmen von Losinger Marazzi erhalten. Das Berner Bauunternehmen hat den Neubau des Spitals Limmattal verwirklicht. Der Auftrag lautet auf originalgetreuen Wiederaufbau der Kapelle aus den 60er Jahren und alle damit verbundenen Baumeisterarbeiten. Die Bauarbeiten sollen rasch beginnen, den ersten Baukran hat Schmid schon aufstellen lassen. Bis zum Frühjahr 2021 hofft man, fertig zu sein und die Kapelle wieder allen Einkehr und Ruhe suchenden Patienten und Besuchern öffnen zu können. Bisher hatte ihnen dazu nur ein dafür freigehaltener Raum im Spital dienen können.

    Die alt-neue Kapelle soll auch wieder unter Schutz stehen. Sie werde nach der Rekonstruktion wieder ins Inventar der kulturhistorischen Objekte aufgenommen, hatte der Schlieremer Stadtingenieur Hans-Ueli Hohl beim Beschluss über den Abriss versichert.

  • Implenia is taking part in the construction of the Dreiklang Hospital at Aarau Cantonal Hospital

    Implenia is taking part in the construction of the Dreiklang Hospital at Aarau Cantonal Hospital

    "The working group (ARGE) for the new Dreiklang hospital building for Aarau Cantonal Hospital ( KSA ) at the level of general contractor now consists of BAM Swiss AG / BAM Deutschland AG and Implenia," Implenia informed in a corresponding message . The two partners want to implement the project technically and commercially in equal parts. The consortium commissioned the construction company Marti AG with the master builder work.

    Originally, the Swiss subsidiary BAM Swiss AG of the Dutch Royal BAM Group, together with Marti, acted as a consortium for the new Dreiklang KSA building. The KSA has given its approval to the new composition of the ARGE, Implenia explains in the announcement. According to her, the project is “still on track in terms of time and money”. The planning application should be submitted in a few weeks.

    The construction cost of the project remains unchanged at around 560 million francs including VAT, the announcement said. This amount does not include the costs for medical technology. A corresponding contract for work was concluded with the ARGE in January and remains valid even with its new composition.
