Qilu Hospital of Shandong University Emergency Medical Building / MENG Achitects

The project is an 800-bed medical complex for medicine, teaching, and research, including functions of emergency medicine, diagnosis and treatment in internal medicine, imaging center, scientific research and teaching, medical laboratory, etc. The buildings are in a twin-tower layout, with the north tower for administration and scientific research, the south tower for medical treatment, the podiums for demonstrative teaching, canteen, emergency medicine, imaging, intensive care unit (ICU), operating room, etc., and the basement for garage and MEP rooms. Upon completion, the project is expected to further promote the integrated development of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University in medicine, teaching, and research, and set an example for building the national medical center. Due to a tight site area and complex terrain, the project has a high FAR and high density, which, coupled with the hospital renovation and expansion, caused many complications and conflicts. Therefore, how reconnecting the large hospital with the urban fabrics through design, creating a friendly and harmonious urban interface, and implanting the giant medical complex into urban public life, became a major difficulty and challenge in design. In this regard, the design team decided to always keep in mind the design goal, i.e. to create an open, efficient, and humanistic hospital in symbiosis with the city.
