In June 2008, the construction of the new "Center for Invasive Medicine" (CMI – Center for Invasive Medicine) of the Medical University of Gdańsk was initiated, and next year the entire facility, with construction costs including the renovation of the older part of the Gdańsk hospital reaching approximately 500 million zlotys (3.3 billion CZK), will be handed over to doctors and patients for use.
The ceremonial commencement of construction in June 2008 was attended by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland, Donald Tusk, the Minister of Health, Eva Kopacz, and the Metropolitan of Gdańsk, Leszek Sławoj Głódź. The new hospital will offer a total area of approximately 55,000 m² with 300 beds and state-of-the-art facilities for surgeries, intensive care units, bone marrow transplants, laboratories, and trauma and outpatient care. The investor is the Medical University of Gdańsk (GUMed).
The design of the new hospital in Gdańsk was created by architects Zbigniew Reszka, Michał Baryżewski, and Michał Afeltowicz from ARCH-DECO Sp. z o.o. from Gdynia (www.archdeco.pl), while the implementation is provided by the company ERBUD from Warsaw. The ARCH-DECO studio was founded in 1989 by Zbigniew Reszka and Michał Baryżewski, and their studio has received numerous awards in recent years, including recognition from the Polish Chamber of Architects and the Ministry of Construction and Regional Development of the Republic of Poland. The company has extensive experience in implementing buildings and interiors not only in Poland but also abroad – in the USA (where Michał Baryżewski studied as a Fulbright Foundation scholar), Sweden, Germany, Austria, and Finland).
The completion of construction is scheduled for January 2011, and the entire construction process is documented in a photo gallery on the website www.gumed.edu.pl.
In the building of the new modern center, FERMACELL fiber gypsum boards have found significant application. FERMACELL fiber gypsum materials are well-known in the Polish market and are valued by investors mainly for their standard properties - higher strength, higher load-bearing capacity, higher fire resistance, and sound insulation, which gypsum board simply cannot achieve or can only achieve with additional demanding modifications.
The FERMACELL 1S31 constructions, double-sidedly clad with two FERMACELL fiber gypsum boards, have a fire resistance of EI 90 DP1 and airborne sound insulation Rw from 62 to 64 dB. These parameters significantly exceed the values required by standards, even in the case of the demands of the Gdańsk hospital. Fermacell has supplied and continues to supply 150,000 m² of FERMACELL boards with a thickness of 12.5 mm to the newly constructed hospital, making it one of the largest implementations of the company in Europe in 2010.
