The special clinic for orthopaedics at the Marienstift Arnstadt was expanded by partial new construction and renovated approximately 13 years ago. However, numerous functional shortcomings have arisen in the building inventory, making additional expansion necessary at this location.

The objectives include significant improvement of operating procedures through restructuring and expansion of existing facilities, easing the burden on the present 3 operating theatres by adding a fourth and increasing patient comfort by the elimination of 4-bed rooms. This requires the following measures, while maintaining clinic operations: new construction/expansion of operating theatre areas, new replacement building for central sterile supply services and expansion of outpatient facilities, expansion of nursing stations and integration of an outpatient rehabilitation facility into the building inventory.

Nickl & Partner Architekten AG was successful in the award procedure and received the contract.
