The subject of the competition is the architectural design for the modernisation of the Surgery department consisting of a new building which should be situated between the Nemocnice street and the Bedrna pavilion, and subsequently, the reconstruction of the Bedrna pavilion itself (building no. 21); and this, as to keep the full functionality of the Surgery departments, the Emergency Centre (building no. 50) and the Pavilion of Internal Medicine (building no. 10) during the whole duration of the construction and the reconstruction. The planned investment cost (not including the costs of project documentation) for the new building and for the Bedrna pavilion reconstruction should be of 1.8 billion CZK without VAT. The goal of the competition “Next Level - University Hospital Hradec Králové” is to find an architectonic solution for the Surgical Centre, composed of a new building (addition) and the reconstructed (now technologically outdated) earlier surgical pavilion, and to connect the two structures into a viable whole. In this competition, we would like to appeal to European architects to present designs that would meet all the functional needs of the surgery departments of a hospital, and form the best possible working environment for medical staff as well as a safe and pleasant setting for patients in the University Hospital Hradec Králové.
