Location: Komotini, Greece
Status: Under construction
Sector: Healthcare
Client: Stavros Niarchos Health Initiative
The new General Hospital of Komotini is part of the Stavros Niarchos Global Health Initiative, which is expected to exceed $1 billion and includes the design, construction and outfitting of 3 hospitals in Greece. Llewelyn Davies has been selected as Healthcare Experts and is working in close collaboration with world-renowned architect Renzo Piano.
About the project
The hospital will provide healthcare services for the local population of Komotini and will act as a secondary hub for the wider area of East Macedonia and Thrace, including 180 beds, Critical Care, 6 Operating Theatres, 16 Outpatient Clinics, Haemodialysis, Emergency Department with Observation Unit, a 15-bed Mental Health Unit, Helipad and all necessary diagnostic equipment.
Additional insights
The design facilitates critical patient pathways and aids admission avoidance. In most surgical specialities, up to 50% of the workload is transferred to day procedures. The hospital will be embedded in a park with healing gardens based on the ancient Greek concept of the “Asklepion”. The superstructure and façade of the hospital will be constructed from timber and will feature a net-carbon-zero-ready design as one of the first hospitals in Europe targeted for LEED Platinum accreditation.
