The construction of Shenzhen University Xuefu Hospital is progressing rapidly. According to information from the Shenzhen Municipal Construction and Engineering Bureau, the hospital is designed to accommodate 800 beds and is scheduled for completion in 2017. Upon completion, it will become Shenzhen’s first tertiary comprehensive teaching hospital.
Located in Lang Village, Xilitang, Nanshan District, the Shenzhen University Xuefu Hospital project covers a land area of 89,828 square meters. The total construction area will be 135,665 square meters, which includes 125,046 square meters of new buildings and 10,619 square meters of existing structures. The estimated total investment in the project is 793.83 million yuan.
The project comprises several individual buildings, including an outpatient medical technology building, ward building, logistics support building, hyperbaric oxygen chamber, guard room, and existing facilities. This project is a key initiative decided by the 18th Plenary Session of the 5th Municipal Party Committee. It has been designated as a major city project in 2014, supervised by the Municipal Party Committee, and monitored by the Municipal People’s Congress.
A representative from the Shenzhen Municipal Construction and Engineering Bureau explained that the hospital is designed as a tertiary comprehensive teaching hospital with 800 beds. It is the only hospital in Shenzhen planned and constructed to meet the Ministry of Education’s standards for affiliated hospitals of higher medical institutions. This is also a necessary requirement for Shenzhen University School of Medicine’s qualification certification.
Construction began on December 26, 2013, with Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology integrated into project management from the foundation pit stage. The project employs a general contracting model for civil engineering and specialized subcontracting for areas such as purification, logistics, protection, civil air defense, medical gas, fine decoration, and outdoor works.
This approach helps address common issues like design errors, omissions, clashes, and deficiencies. It allows for early identification of potential hazards during construction and the implementation of appropriate countermeasures. Quality pre-control measures guide the construction process effectively, improving overall project management.
To address typical hospital challenges such as limited parking and traffic congestion, the hospital’s entrance and exit points have been redesigned. The number of parking spaces was adjusted from the originally approved 641 to 854. Additionally, the design was optimized to include more registration and payment windows, increasing from 9 to 14 in the first-floor lobby to accommodate high patient flow.
In response to the large number of accompanying persons in emergency and pediatric departments, an emergency waiting area was added. The pediatric infusion area and seating for accompanying persons were also expanded, enhancing convenience and comfort for patients and their families.
