Klinikum Dortmund
New central building
In addition to a surgical area for thoracic, cardiac and vascular Surgery, two intensive care units and five new units were added. A central building now serves as the entrance area for the medical complex. The glass-covered atrium with a café, shop, library and admissions links the medical, ENT and ophthalmology clinics and the surgical center. The new building is directly connected to city center with subway and streetcar stops. Together with the surgical center, a new thoracic and cardiovascular surgical department with two ORs has been created from scratch. The first and second floors are home to surgical intensive care, orthopedics, and thoracic and cardiovascular surgery. Floors 3–8 are standard patient units with bright lounges on the front ends of the unit corridors.
