Kitasato University Hospital

Redevelopment Plan for the New Hospital at the Sagamihara Campus. The main hospital building was constructed adjacent to the existing hospital (East Wing), and renovations were carried out on the existing structure. Furthermore, as part of the relocation plan following the closure of the East Hospital, the West Wing was constructed adjacent to the main building. By extending the front line—comprising a canopy and a rotary—it became possible to facilitate functional integration.By incorporating exterior utility shafts, an Integrated Support System (ISS), raised floors, and ultra-thin studs, we created a medical space capable of adapting to changes in the healthcare environment. In the patient wards, we minimized patient walking distances by centering the layout around the staff station and nurses’ pit.The “Kitasato University Hospital Smart Eco-Hospital Project” was selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s Housing and Buildings CO₂ Reduction Pioneer Project, incorporating eco-shaft natural ventilation, solar power generation, and solar water heating.
