Göttingen University Hospital
BA-1 Project

In Göttingen, a maximum-care emergency and surgical center is being built for the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) as part of Phase 1 of the project. It will include, among other things, 31 new operating rooms (six of which are for outpatient surgery), a central emergency department, intensive care units, diagnostic imaging facilities, and a central sterilization department.

Phase 1 of this major project aims to combine the Surgical Center, the Cardiac, Neurological, and Emergency Center—with a total of 624 beds—into a single building. Furthermore, all clinical facilities for the acute care of emergency patients as well as critically ill or multiply injured patients are arranged in an optimal spatial and functional layout relative to one another.

Naturally, the focus is also on sustainable energy supply to keep energy costs low and achieve long-term CO2 savings.

LIEBERT plans to utilize geothermal energy in combination with heat pump technology and district heating, supplemented by large-scale PVT modules with solar panels on the roof. This integrated solution not only provides reliable heat and electricity but also optimizes the use of available space. This combination ensures efficient use of resources and reduces dependence on conventional energy sources.

Another key focus is on graywater reuse throughout the hospital. Reusing graywater not only conserves precious drinking water but also makes a significant contribution to sustainable water management.

In building services engineering, maximum availability is considered the top priority. The safety and functionality of the hospital are crucial, especially in the event of a disaster. Therefore, redundant systems are carefully designed and implemented to ensure the continuity of service.
