Volkskliniek Moving Services

Since 2020, hospital services have been completely phased out of the Volkskliniek campus, which will make way for a new residential care facility.

The final major phase of the master plan has been completed, allowing the remaining departments of the Volkskliniek to relocate shortly. This phase included, among other things, the construction of a new wing, “Block W.” This new building, located at the corner of Sint-Margrietstraat and Groenebriel, houses:

• The day hospitals internal, oncology and surgery
• Geriatrics with day hospital and consultations
• The Pain Clinic, Infusion Therapy, Ophthalmology, and Hand Center at SP Chronic
• Palliative care
• Surgical day hospital and operating theater

The first departments moved into the new wing in June 2019.

Complete design and follow-up

Ingenium was responsible for the feasibility study, the design of the technical systems (including medical gases), the EPB, and on-site supervision of the technical systems in Block W. The wing was designed so that all spaces can be used flexibly. This means that only minimal work is required to repurpose spaces. This is made possible by the intelligent layout of technical rooms and utility shafts.

Given the scope of the master plan, the limited government funding available for the sector, and the phased move-in, planning and budget control are also crucial to this project. Transparent communication among the various parties is the key to success here.

Ingenium strictly monitors the budget and closely tracks the schedule, always ensuring that sufficient time is allocated for inspecting and testing the installed systems. This is important to guarantee reliability and comfort for patients and users.
