Sammanfattning
Currently situated in an older building, not suited to
modern standards, the Primary Care Center of Vadstena
will move into a new development in the near future. The
proposed site is currently occupied by an older building,
internally connected to a neighbouring structure beyond
the plot limits. Thereby, the task has been to design a
proposal for the new Primary Care Center on site and the
two existing buildings, on-site and just outside.
The brief of about 3000 m2
gross area includes a primary
care unit, specialist outpatient clinics, dental care and a
child and family health centre. The task has also included
presenting a space for a possible extension of an inpatient
care unit. The inpatient care unit will be outlined in the
site plan but not detailed further. Today, the Primary Care
Centre has almost 160 patient visits per day and about 37
daily staff, including nurses, doctors, and dentists.
The project will contribute to developing the healthcare
system towards “good quality, local health care”, which means
modern, equitable, accessible, and effective healthcare,
focusing on primary care. Additionally, the project has
very high sustainability ambitions, and the design focuses
on circularity, reuse, and resource efficiency.
