June 2020 saw the opening of the new campus for acute and high-tech care in Rumbeke. This new hospital is one of the largest ones in West Flanders and will largely replace the existing campuses in Wilgenstraat and Westlaan in Roeselare. The new campus is a design from VK Architects & Engineers. The buildings cover a total surface area of 120,000 m², equipped with 700 inpatient beds and 100 one-day hospital beds.

The campus itself consists of three volumes: the hospital in a tilted L-shape, the logistics block for supporting services and the power unit that generates energy for the entire site. The polyclinics are located at the front facing the north-east and the north-west. Thanks to their stepped construction, the hospital retains its human scale. The bed wings are located at the quiet rear of the hospital, and overlook the green surroundings of Oekene. Their open-handed structure avoids the massiveness that a large hospital might bring.

During the construction phase, the “HVAC and sanitary equipment” package was implemented by THV Delta. Our colleagues from Cegelec were responsible for 30% of this realisation, including the HVAC installations in the operating rooms, medical imaging rooms, emergency rooms and nursing units.

After thorough testing of all processes and techniques, VINCI Facilities took over. During the next five years, the on-site team will ensure the preventive maintenance of: the air handling units, fan coil units, boilers, cogeneration systems, heat pump, steam boilers, cooling machines, etc.

The team, which has been working closely with the AZ Delta technical department for years, also provides maintenance at the campus in Menen.
