Around the workshop, different workspaces are arranged, for example a room with spectacular resin vacuum casting equipment. Only in the welding area, the transparent walls had to be omitted.

Tailor made design From the entrance hall a semi-transparent door leads to the orthopedic and rehabilitation engineering center.

A lime green floor is the connecting element between all areas in the center. The entire layout and design breath the focus on the patient. Here, orthoses, prostheses and wheelchairs are measured, fitted and provided to people.

Every element is tailor made. This means fitting, measuring, making casts and molds, coating and of course practicing. For these precarious proceedings customers have to feel at ease, hence the department is furnished as transparent and clean as possible.

With the newest equipment, including various gait analysis devices in the locomotion labs and ultramodern body scanners, various analyzes take place to shape and adapt the prostheses in the best way possible.

Technical Heart With these machines and technical devices in the epicenter of the department, the staff shaping technical wonders for people with minimal hand function and creating almost futuristic artificial legs with electric motors kicking themselves forward. Here, lifelike prostheses are made.

Previously, these workspaces were situated in tight, low areas with a chronic lack of daylight. Now the light flows in from all sides, the wide windows overlook the greenery and skylight from the roof makes sure the workshops and corridors are covered in daylight.

Sustainability Sustainability was one of the starting points for the design. Therefore floor heating and cooling ceilings are applied via Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) combined with heat pumps, using heat recovery systems and for example energy efficient lighting fixtures.

The 14 numbered dressing and fitting rooms are accessible on both sides, on the entrance side by a corridor that is connected to the counter and on the other side by a service corridor which is connected to the practice rooms.
