A timber construction for Mosnang health centre

General view of the new Mosnang medical centre

Medical centre made from timber modules

The time from the groundbreaking ceremony to the opening of the health centre in early 2023 was just nine months. As GC/FSC, Blumer Lehmann carried out the modular timber construction for the village medical centre.

With its three doctors, physiotherapy, a pharmacy with a medication robot and medication dispensing, the health centre delivers basic medical care for the village of Mosnang and the surrounding area. The new building is made with timber modules and features 25 treatment rooms, an x-ray room, a trauma room for emergency medicine, a pharmacy, a blood lab and an on-call room as well as a medical therapy room. The modular construction also has space for a large conference room, a recreation room, cloakrooms with bathroom facilities and four kitchens.

Underground construction works with underground parking and slope supports were built as a reinforced concrete foundation. The 66 timber modules were all made simultaneously in our production facility. The windows, timber facade, building technology installations including electrical and sanitary installations were all preassembled here. The topping-out ceremony was held as early as mid-August 2022, just four and a half months after the groundbreaking ceremony. The timber facade of this four-storey modular construction is made with pre-greyed, vertical and open spruce/fir strips as well as with horizontal rhomboid profiles to cover the blinds. A heat pump provides the building with energy. Special panels were used in the x-ray room to protect against radiation.
