New construction of the University Medical Center Göttingen: 1.1 billion for the future!

Göttingen, Deutschland - something big is happening in Göttingen: the new building of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) is progressing quickly. Since the beginning of the year, construction work has started on the first of two construction phases, the so -called Niko. The new, eight -story building is to be completed by 2029, with a start -up start that is targeted for 2030. The construction site has already been hectically stimulated: In the coming summer months, around 650 piles up to 40 meters deep into the ground will be inserted in order to create a stable basis for the large construction project. Here is a significant environmental and sustainability dimension in the game, because the support piles with up to 1.5 meters in diameter are sometimes designed in such a way that they can be used for geothermal energy as [n-tv.de] (https://www.n-tv.de/regionales/niedersachsen-und-bremen/neubau-der-unimedizin-goettingen-freit-voran-article25900338.html) reported.

The new university medicine will come up with a total of 624 beds, including 204 intensive care beds and 31 operating theaters. The planned offer includes an operational center, a cardiac and a neuro center and an emergency center. The two provided helicopter landing sites on the roof of the building are particularly spectacular, which should ensure fast patient care. In order to illustrate the dimensions: by the end of the year, around 10,000 truck loads are to be removed to make room for the new medical facility.

progress and future

The symbolic groundbreaking ceremony for the new building was celebrated on December 3, 2024, in which numerous prominent personalities, including the mayor of Göttingen and the Lower Saxony Prime Minister, were present. This project is seen as a future -oriented step for medical care in southern Lower Saxony. The gross floor area of the modern new building will include around 112,000 square meters, which almost corresponds to the size of 17 soccer fields, such as UMG.EU.

As part of the second construction phase, a parent-child center is also built, which offers around 172 beds, including 50 intensive care beds and six surgical halls. With a gross floor area of around 38,000 square meters and an investment volume of around 297.2 million euros, this concept aims to ensure future -oriented medical care for mothers and children. Here, too, great importance is placed on the integration of all functional areas to guarantee the best possible supply. Zukunft-uniklinik.de emphasizes that areas such as the pediatric emergency room, various outpatient clinics and an operational children's center will be part of the offer.

investment in the future

The total costs for the entire construction project amount to around 1.1 billion euros, with the state of Lower Saxony set up a special fund for financing. Not only the University Medical Center Göttingen, but also the Hanover Medical School, benefits from the planned measures. It is a big challenge that is mastered here, and a good hand when dealing with these means will be essential so that the high expectations of the new facility are met.

In medical technology, a high degree of digitization is also sought. Planned digital infrastructures contain systems for room occupancy management and a tracking system for medical devices. A driverless transport system is also to be used to relieve the clinic staff. It clearly shows that the University Medical Center Göttingen is investing in a modern, environmentally conscious and digital future and will therefore also be very popular in the coming years.
