Project Description
Located in the capital of Finland, Helsinki, Laakso hospital is the largest Finnish hospital project to date. Three new buildings, a parking facility, the vehicle access, and a tunnel to the main hospital are being constructed. Also, existing hospital buildings are being renovated and demolished.
In the design process, Granlund is focusing on solutions promoting energy-efficiency and lifecycle sustainability. In addition to reducing energy usage, Granlund’s solutions ensure that the indoor conditions remain pleasant for both the patients and the staff and that the conditions can be easily managed.
The Laakso hospital will be completed by 2030. Commissioned by the City of Helsinki and the Uusimaa Hospital District (HUS), the estimated cost of the project is over EUR 800 million and the extent of the project covers 170,000 m2.
Our Input
In the Laakso hospital project, Granlund is responsible for MEP Design, energy and lifecycle planning, cost control, fire safety engineering and audiovisual design as well as for tele and security design.
Key Features
The hospital’s carbon footprint is reduced by recycling waste heat using heat pumps. Renewable energy is produced locally with solar panels and 1.5-kilometre-deep geothermal heat wells. Once completed, the hospital’s geothermal heating system will be one of the largest in Finland.
