Beijing Children’s Hospital, China Building

The consortium of China IPPR International Engineering Co., Ltd. and von Gerkan, Marg and Partners Architects (gmp) recently won an international architectural design competition for the new campus of Beijing Children’s Hospital. Located in the Beijing E-town and adjacent to the Xinfeng River, the project, planned with a gross floor area of about 329,800 square meters and 1,200 beds on a 153,100 square meter site, will serve as the main campus of the National Center for Children’s Health, China, upon completion.

The design includes a large-volume building cluster that is centrally located at the site to serve as the clinical center. Additionally, the expansive campus accommodates a science and innovation building for teaching, training, research and administrative functions, an independent infectious disease center as well as designated areas s for the hospital’s long-term development.

The clinical center forms the central building complex, providing separate entrances for the emergency room, outpatient and inpatient departments, thereby fully reflecting the hospital’s functionality. A daylight-flooded entrance lobby at the center of the building connects all functional areas.

The scientific innovation center is situated in the northwest corner of the site and integrates functions of academic research, research translation and administrative management. On the ground level, separate accesses are provided for all main functional units, while the shared podium allows for flexible expansion and interaction between these units.

The podium rooftop provides an outdoor space for the use of the employees. The infectious disease center is located at the southeast corner of the campus, which, with well-equipped facilities and in close proximity to the emergency and outpatient departments, can fully function as an independent medical unit for closed operations in the event of an epidemic outbreak.

To embody the characteristics of a children’s hospital, green, yellow and orange elements are incorporated into the facade design, reflecting the colors of nature and creating a harmonious transition between the building and its surroundings. Landscape courtyards are strategically placed throughout the building volume, ensuring a compact layout while fostering a playful atmosphere for the children.

Spacious, daylight-filled activity and recreation spaces in the waiting and ward areas provide dynamic places for children and their families to rest and communicate. The daylight and natural ventilation design for all interior areas as well as the numerous patios and outdoor spaces, add to the distinctiveness of the building cluster.

With plenty of daylight, human-oriented scale, diverse spaces and attractive landscapes, the project aims to create a new paradigm of a “community- and family-oriented, city-integrated” hospital and to build an “amusement park-like” children’s hospital full of fun and energy.
