VK – State-of-the-art operating rooms, Saint John General Hospital Bruges, Belgium
New operational concept and new functional principles
VK was responsible for the design and execution of the operating block’s extension and renovation in the Bruges Saint John General Hospital. An extension with 3 new “Hi-tech” operating rooms demonstrate a new operational concept as three separate rooms, or as “landscape” operating rooms connected with each other by sliding glass doors.
For this project, VK designers and the client imposed themselves high ambitions. The result can be considered as a pilot project, as well architectural as on medical engineering plan. With open minds, innovative solutions were sought to combine and streamline various disciplines within the small space of an operating room. Therefore, new functional principles were applied: flexible preparation, ‘Grossraum “and plenary assembly in the hall will generate a specific workflow.
Revolution in the design of operating rooms
In terms of material VK choose for sustainable applications that have already proven to be sound in an international context. All this is supported by the latest medical technology developments. The combination of full laminar flow in temperature zones, wall heating and the use of ‘medical bridge’, together with the development of a number of specific innovations, lend its unique character to this project.
This realization means simply a revolution in the design of operating rooms. Firstly, the basic principles are unique, both from the users’ viewpoint as well as with regard to the technical program requirements. Moreover, technological advances have been used for the first time in this challenging environment, with the conviction that they will contribute to a better control and quality in operating rooms.
