Designation:
Construction of a structure for invasive imaging in cardiology, which includes providing a solution for the treatment of heart transplant recipients and patients implanted with artificial hearts.
Establishment of a stroke department with, intensive care for stroke patients.
General Data:
The departments of the Heart Institute, currently located in the Heart Institute building, include operating rooms, catheterization, intermediate hospitalization rooms and additional hospitalization rooms. The existing hospitalization is intended for all heart patients and is not unique for heart failure, who require separate treatment, both in terms of equipment and supportive rooms, and in terms of the treating staff.
In addition, there is a clear link between stroke and brain events and heart disease. so the establishment of a structure that includes stroke wards, in direct connection with the Heart Institute and hospitalization departments can shorten treatment times for patients and contribute to efficiency.
The building includes a 5-story building and two underground technical floors underground, where all the main systems of the building are located.
The building interfaces with the existing building on all existing floors, and as a result there are engineering and execution challenges.
The planning includes changes within the existing departments, and therefore complex coordination work with the hospital staff is required.
The stroke floor is planned as a new floor and hovers above the existing building at a height of over 5 meters, in order to maintain all the systems located on the roof of the existing building, and sustain the hospital in its existing format.
Adding a floor above the existing building requires reinforcing columns on all existing floors within active departments, while maintaining the continuity of the departments’ activity during the work. Very complex engineering and systemic work.
