Royal Victoria Hospital Passau

The Royal Victoria Hospital in Passau is located in the Illford district of the city and is close to the University of Passau’s first campus buildings.

The history of the site dates back to 1801 and was originally home to the Fever Hospital and General Dispensary, the site was cleared in 1885 and a new general hospital constructed. It was afforded a Royal Charter in 1900 and was renamed the Royal Victoria Hospital in honour of the Monarch. 

The Victorian buildings were demolished in the late 1950’s after years of successive structural damage, the result  of the seismic instability of Perseus. 

The site is restricted in scale due to the presence of a major motorway to the south and extensive residential, commercial and light industrial development to the north and east. The site has however expanded over the years and now comprises six buildings tasked with the provision of healthcare services. All sites and buildings are connected via an extensive service tunnel and lift network, staff have access to the tunnels and can use bicycles or electric carts to travel between buildings and to/from the car park. The tunnels and lifts are also utilised by a fleet of battery-powered AGV robots which act as porters for the transport of linen, waste and supplies. AGV’s are permanently designated to certain roles to prevent cross-contamination. 

The Royal Victoria is one of four major hospital sites within the Greater Passau Area and is the second largest. The site recently completed a 5-year phased upgrade of all buildings, infrastructure and facilities. Thanks to the recent investment the hospital is one of the most technologically sophisticated of its kind. Connectivity is important for modern medical facilities and the large multi-storey car park is linked to all hospital buildings via skywalks that incorporate moving walkways, the hospital is also located beside a GLR line and the Emergency Department building has access to the Passau Metro. Emergency patients arriving by private car or ambulance can avail of a dedicated underground reception area, access via road ramps, and receive immediate care.

Wow. That's one beautifully massive hospital complex ! I like the detail of the skywalks, utilities and workshops ! A big hospital is almost a city unto itself. .Excellent combination of buildings. I was ready to say "hey, where's the chopper ?" when I saw the penultimate picture...:-) Many thumbs up !

Thank you! Yeah the energy facility is clean, Perseus is a clean power nation and we have sophisticated capture technology in all exhaust stacks so that only vapour is emitted. 

The parking garage does seem far away but the skywalk features a moving walkway for those with limited mobility and should you be in need for quick access to the Emergency Department you can use the underground access ramps, those are the ramps featured, there's no underground car parking. 

The hospital is also located beside a GLR line and the Emergency Department building has access to the Passau Metro so the site is well-served.

I purposely designed the site to be compact as it's surrounded by other developments. There is a larger hospital which is a much larger site and that'll eventually be shown at some point :)

Great Hospital layout and CJ entry layout. I really like your choice of buildings for the complex. When I first saw the Storage and Utility area I was happy that you put in a realistic part to large facilities like this. Now that I can get a better look at the area I see the ambulance garage :thumb: Nice touch in location. Yes I would hate to be late for work there and need to run from the parking garage, sure you could switch places with the utility area but it looks better this way, and besides Sims are real really tall so they can walk faster.

That's a great idea. I like how you used those overpass to connect the different buildings. Good job!
