The development of the hospital included the reconstruction of the ten story high main building, built of prefabricated reinforced concrete Univáz panels in the 1970s, and its extension by an adjoining annex. Design work was made difficult by the fact that the reinforced concrete structure of the ground floor and first floor of the new annex had already been built several years earlier, therefore the new upper floors had to be adjusted to this situation.
The main aims of hospital development were to separate and shorten the routes of the inpatients and outpatients, provide an accessible environment, upgrade the diagnostic equipment and the hospital information system, raise the standards of special services and facilitate economical energy saving operation. In the hotel section, the second floor was rebuilt to accommodate the one day surgery department. A complete maternity ward was installed on the third floor with five three-bed rooms and three two-bed rooms, complete with bathrooms. The various units of the paediatric department were placed on the fourth floor, the therapy room, the store-rooms, the waiting room, the mourning room and the visitors’ toilets were established on the fifth floor, with the endoscopic operating room on the sixth floor. The central technological block was also partly converted: a ten-bed post-operative department and an eight-bed central intensive care department were installed on the third floor. Physiotherapy was relocated to the first floor of the clinic. The renewal of the HVAC system resulted in much saving of energy.
Construction of the annex was continued from the third to the sixth floor with in-situ reinforced concrete structure, using the same structural grid as the already built part. The floor levels were adjusted to those of the hotel building. An elevator was installed on the ground floor, an operating room for Caesarean deliveries and three labor rooms with their own bathrooms were established on the third floor, and a department of paediatric infectious diseases with a special entrance control system on the fourth floor. The specific medical rooms of long-term sterile therapy connected to the invasive matrix and the surgical dressing rooms were placed on the fifth floor, the medical rooms of short-term therapy and the sepsis department, a surgical dressing room, a trauma surgical dressing room and a laryngological therapy room were installed on the sixth floor. The facade of the new annex is clad with glittering white ceramic tiles, the white aluminium windows have reflective glazing with a greenish hue and there are fixed, white shading louvres on the southeast side.
