About the project
Mediclinic planned to brand the new City Hospital North Wing project as a specialty Oncology Center and as such, the oncology department is central to the brief and sets priority regarding the functional layout of the building design. The benchmarks being applied to this facility are the St. Anna and Hirslanden clinics in Switzerland, also owned and operated by Mediclinic. A pre-requisite for the oncology department is that it must be located on the ground floor. Above this there are five other medical departments, namely Outpatients, Physiotherapy/Rehabilitation, Dialysis, Day Care Unit, and the Laboratory .
A further major element of the overall area budget is the Corporate Offices. It is intended to locate the Mediclinic UAE headquarters in the new facility along with other administrative functions currently located in the existing City Hospital facility. It is a requirement that staff using the Corporate Office mainly access it from a dedicated or back-of-house set of lifts.
Massa’s scope was to plan and design a state of the art oncology medical center in the heart of Dubai Healthcare City and Kele was the fit-out contractor of the facility. The main entrance lobby is an open atrium to the first floor. The northern exposed frameless glass façade brings in ample of daylight to this public space. Left of the reception desk is the Delah Café, designed to cater for the patients, staff and visitors.
The main feature in this facility is the oncology area on the ground floor, which is equipped with two linear accelerator rooms, ten infusion bays and a full diagnostic Nuclear Medicine department. A large fish tank sits at the center of the oncology waiting area, creating a calm, relaxing and comfortable environment for the patients and their families. This facility has been designed to meet Mediclinics latest design standards for planning and interior design, which was developed hand in hand with the end user.
