Ramboll supports Malmö University Hospital expansion
In 2010, the university hospitals in Malmö and Lund were amalgamated to form one of Sweden's largest university hospitals. In 2016, they sought Ramboll’s expertise to expand the Malmö hospital area with a new healthcare facility spanning approximately 100,000m², complemented by additional new buildings covering 30,000m².
This extension involved both the renovation and demolition of existing structures, alongside the construction of new building services and transportation culverts.
The new healthcare facility is a complex comprising several separate buildings, all interconnected by a shared basement, culverts, and passageways. This ensemble includes a logistics service centre and a morgue, enhancing both operational efficiency and critical services.
Ramboll played a pivotal role in this project from 2016 to 2024. Services provided included project management, BIM-management, design management, electrical and mechanical engineering, logistics, and sustainability consultancy. Additionally, Ramboll’s team took on a crucial management role, overseeing the project's finances and deadlines, ensuring flexibility in planning to accommodate the hospital's future needs.
This vast and intricate project was delivered while maintaining the hospital’s ongoing operations, impacting the entire hospital area. Ramboll's multidisciplinary expertise – encompassing BIM and advisory on medical equipment – ensured that the project could be executed without disrupting crucial healthcare services.
A major focus of this project was reducing the climate footprint, with an ambition for the new healthcare building to achieve Miljöbyggnad level silver certification, the environmental certification system for buildings in Sweden.
The service building's system for comfort cooling was designed for a suitable indoor temperature, allowing for future adaptation to more environmentally friendly cooling production. The higher temperature of the cooling water reduces cooling power by preventing condensate on systems and components. Ramboll’s contribution exemplifies the company’s commitment to delivering sustainable and efficient healthcare infrastructure, ensuring the Malmö University Hospital is well-prepared to meet future healthcare challenges.
