The project expands the area of the central hospital in Lapland by 26,600 m², nearly doubling the current premises. The expansion includes an emergency department, a psychiatric ward, a children's clinic, and outpatient clinics. A generous, airy corridor connects the new and old premises. The design of the project focuses on the well-being of patients. The architectural appearance, floor plan, materials used, and integration of the surroundings, considering natural light and the presence of nature, are intended to create a pleasant atmosphere. Special attention is also given to a sustainable construction method to minimize the ecological footprint while optimizing the overall economic efficiency of the investment and hospital operation.

The client is Lapin sairaanhoitopiiri (Lappland Hospital District).  This joint authority of fifteen municipalities in Lapland is responsible for specialized medical care services for the population of its region as well as for the treatment and rehabilitation of people with drug abuse problems. Additionally, the hospital expansion is an alliance project involving several construction participants. These include the urban development and construction company YIT Suomi (Helsinki), the architectural firm Verstas Arkkitehdit (Helsinki), the company responsible for technical building equipment (TGA) Are (Vantaa), the specialist in building technology, consulting, and software Granlund Group (Helsinki), the engineering and consulting company WSP Group (Montreal), the geotechnical expert Geobotnia (Oulu), as well as the fire protection consulting and construction company L2 Paloturvallisuus (Helsinki). Construction started in February 2021 and is planned to be completed in three phases by 2025.

„In addition to the installation and fastening systems that meet project- and customer-specific requirements, we also convinced our client with our comprehensive technical support,“ says Jere Makkonen, Managing Director of fischer National Company in Finland. „With our services, we support the MEP managers already during planning and technical development. In the further process, we accompany the project managers through all construction phases until the successful project completion.“ To efficiently calculate and represent the constructions, fischer used 3D data and professional load calculation tools in the planning of the fastenings in the hospital. With the structural analysis software applications, the required proof based on valid standards could be provided simply and quickly. Using the Install-Fix tool from the fischer design software FiXperience, the installation systems including suitable anchor selection and documentation could be calculated easily and comfortably.
