Germany – Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services – Neubau Campus Zentralklinikum Magdeburg – NCZMD - Planung TGA

The University Hospital Magdeburg (UKMD) together with the Medical Faculty (FME) of the Otto-von-Guericke University (OvGU) form the University Medicine Magdeburg (UMMD). In this merger, research, teaching (FME) and patient care (UKMD) are united. With approximately 1,100 beds, the University Medicine is the largest hospital in the city of Magdeburg and also the largest medical facility in northern Saxony-Anhalt. The hospital's architectural structure is particularly characterised by decentralisation. The main campus, with a total area of approximately 300,000 sqm, is located at Leipziger Straße 44. The University Clinic for Gynaecology, Obstetrics and Reproductive Medicine, as well as the inpatient department of the University Eye Clinic, are located at the external site at Gerhart-Hauptmann-Straße 35 (distance as the crow flies approx. 3 km). The main campus is characterised by a pavilion structure. Clinics, outpatient departments, laboratories, logistics, as well as research and teaching are decentralised across the site. In total, there are 26 clinics, 19 institutes and further independent or affiliated departments distributed across both sites. In addition to research and teaching, the University Medicine Magdeburg offers the full range of multidisciplinary and highly specialised medical maximum care. The entire University Medicine employs approximately 4,300 employees in research, teaching, patient care and administration. In addition, approximately 1,500 students are enrolled at the Medical Faculty and others in the Master's programme in Immunology. The current architectural structure of the UKMD is characterised by a dislocated building structure, outdated technical infrastructure, long distances and outdated functional structures. There is an urgent need for action to prepare the UMMD for the future challenges of university medicine and to solve pressing structural problems. The new construction of the Central Hospital is intended to bring together the previously dislocated clinics and functional units of the University Hospital in a centralised and functionally optimised structure, thus resolving an outdated situation. Taking into account the existing areas in buildings 60a and 60b, a large part of the clinical areas and a predominant proportion of the total usable areas of the UKMD will be located in the Central Hospital complex in the future. The new construction of the "New Campus Central Hospital" is the largest construction project in the state of Saxony-Anhalt and is critical to the future viability of the site at Leipziger Straße. The planning and construction implementation is divided into several individual, interdependent sub-projects. Due to the complexity of the construction measures and the heterogeneous nature of the projects, this is necessary both in terms of content and organisation. The current budget for the overall project is approximately 1 billion €, of which approximately 650 million € is allocated solely to the new construction of the Central Hospital (construction sections 1 and 2). The focus of the building function should be on the harmony of medically up-to-date and future-proof processes, efficient operational structures and economical solutions. In addition, the following requirements must be taken into account: • It must be ensured that modern, safe, competitive and legally compliant healthcare can be provided at the University Medicine Magdeburg site and that current safety risks are minimised. • The planning should be future-proof and innovative. • A high degree of automation should be taken into account. • The planning of the Central Hospital must be carried out in such a way that a highly flexible building is created. This flexibility should enable re-use by other medical specialties; if necessary, even as a result of a changed medical strategy. The most complex and medically important project is the new construction of the new central building for inpatient care, which, according to the specifications of the existing master plan, directly adjoins the existing buildings 60a and 60b and is intended to form a unit with them. The new central building is a highly complex project in terms of planning, execution and operation, but also in the preparation of the procedure, with multifactor dependencies and a large number of users. It is also challenging to integrate the new building into the existing structures, taking into account existing, partly listed buildings. Due to the complex requirements for the new construction of the Central Hospital, the client, IPS GmbH, has decided to implement this part of the overall project as an Integrated Project Delivery (IPA). In total, the following IPA partners will be commissioned for planning and execution, with the key trades being tendered in packages and successively: Key trade 1: ELT execution: Publication on 19.01.2026 Key trade 2: HLS execution: Publication on 27.01.2026 Key trade 3: TGA planning: Planned publication on 23.02.2026 Key trade 4: Architectural design incl. fire protection: Planned publication on 26.02.2026 Key trade 5: MSR/GLT planning and execution: Planned publication on 12.03.2026 Key trade 6: Medical technology planning and execution: Planned publication on 26.03.2026 Key trade 7: Structural engineering: Planned publication on 13.04.2026 Key trade 8: Construction services fit-out (GU fit-out): Planned publication on 27.04.2026 Key trade 9: Construction services extended shell/ special civil engineering (GU extended shell/special civil engineering): Planned publication on 12.05.2026
