Compact Organization Decentralizes Care

Dortmund Hospital is the largest hospital of its kind in North Rhine-Westphalia and the second largest municipal hospital in Germany. The Dortmund-Mitte Clinic restructures the decentralized operative capacities and diagnostic areas into a central, interdisciplinary operating department.

Key features of the Dortmund-Mitte Clinic include:

• Extremely functional spaces were created through compact organization in the new building and by linking functions in the existing building.
• Visitors access the new clinic by passing through a daylight-flooded thoroughfare accessible via the existing main entrance of the central building.
