County Hospital Mechernich
New construction of emergency center
The new building was constructed in the immediate vicinity of the county hospital in the center of town. The modern and transparent architecture expresses openness and flexibility. This effect was achieved with the use of ceiling-high windows in connection with colored panel fields, wooden slats and lacy evacuation balconies. A steel-concrete skeleton frame makes this design concept possible. The floors in the light-suffused central hall can be accessed with a glazed escalator or an open staircase. A pharmacy and a medical store on the ground floor complement the room schedule. Medical clinics of various sizes and from various professional fields are located on the upper levels.
