Operasjonsbygg ved CHUV

The new outpatient surgery center is located near the CHUV (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois) on Avenue de Beaumont in Lausanne. The building accommodates six operating theaters, primarily dedicated to CHUV's surgeons and patients, managed by MV Santé within a public-private partnership.

Graving i hard molassaterreng

The construction project faced significant challenges due to the site's hard molasse terrain. The entire 1,149-square-meter site was excavated to a depth of 12 meters without causing vibrations, which could impact the nearby CHUV. Berlin walls with bracing were used to prevent subsoil collapse during excavation, and these supports were gradually removed during the concreting phase. The building's exterior, made of concrete, features a dynamic façade with randomly positioned windows of various formats.

Bygningens etasjer og funksjoner

The building is comprised of three stories and three basement levels. The first floor includes a reception, two consultation offices, and a relaxation area. The second floor has consultation rooms, another relaxation area, and the sterilization room. The top two floors feature 24 apartments, including rooms and studios, rented out to CHUV staff. The first two basement levels are dedicated to the clinic itself, with six operating theaters capable of performing around 9,000 operations annually. The third basement floor houses technical rooms.
