The Assignment
Östra Hospital in Gothenburg needed to quickly free up space for ongoing renovation and expansion while maintaining uninterrupted daily operations. The solution was a temporary modular building at the hospital entrance housing a pharmacy, a primary care unit for minor emergency treatment, and office facilities.
The Solution
MG Link delivered a two-storey modular building of approximately 900 m² located near the tram and bus stops. The placement ensures high accessibility for patients, visitors, and staff while relieving pressure on the renovated treatment areas.
Function and Content
- Ground floor: Pharmacy with retail operations, easily accessible to hospital patients and visitors.
- Upper floor: Primary care unit with areas for triage, minor emergency treatment, plaster room, and related functions.
- Support areas: Administrative offices, staff rooms, and kitchen facilities serving both the pharmacy and the primary care unit.
Lease Solution During Renovation
