Short description

The building has a complicated, labyrinthine functional layout, separating several areas. Each part requires the sovereign vertical communication and engineering and technical services because the sections must not intersect. The building is maintained by more than 14 elevators. Multi functionality eliminated usage of type solutions, starting from different climatic conditions that should be ensured in every room.  The specter of material used in the object is extremely narrow and specific due to high requirements. There were used the unique certified product groups in Europe – flooring, windows, doors and others. The heating in the public sections of the building is mainly ensured by underfloor heating systems, in its turn, in the inpatient wards – the radiators. The heating pipes of diameter 25mm are installed in the structure of access road to the building for snow melting, the system operates taking into account the weather conditions to avoid an excessive use of energy. Sustainable Uponor MLC multi-layer pipes are used in water supply system.
