AZ Vesalius Bilzen

This project was a Design, Build and Maintain contract.

The building consisted of an underground car park, a ground floor with both flexible and fixed consultation rooms, and a radiology department. The second floor housed the pre-operative area, two operating theatres, a recovery unit, and the general practitioner’s office.

A cast-in-place concrete support structure with columns on a grid was chosen to allow flexible infill of partition walls. The floor slabs were executed in post-tensioned concrete. On the second floor, a steel structure was installed to accommodate the technical area.

The entire building featured flexible infill using plasterboard walls. The operating theatres were designed as high-quality clean rooms.
