Nicu Amsterdam UMC

Following the assignment for the redesign of the patient rooms, MMEK’ was asked by the Amsterdam UMC to furnish the new NICUs. The old halls were replaced by one and two-person nicuses. In addition, a number of rooms have been set up as coupled care facilities.

Following the assignment for the redesign of the patient rooms, MMEK’ was asked by the Amsterdam UMC to furnish the new NICUs. The old halls were replaced by one and two-person nicuses. In addition, a number of rooms have been set up as coupled care facilities.

Since the department’s wish was to provide as much space as possible for development-oriented care, a cupboard-shaped arrangement behind the incubator and rooming options for the parents were chosen.

The room was developed from the outset in a 3D model down to socket level, so that all employees could think along and discuss the position of all equipment in relation to treatment and the place for the parents. Subsequently, a full-scale prototype was built to test the setup. Together with Ingenieursburo Linssen, EGM architects are responsible for further elaboration of the design of the renovation, after which Wiegerinck and construction company Heijmans took on the further engineering and implementation. The renovation is on schedule and will be completed in 2025. Copyright photography: Hanne van der Woude
