Tergooi Medical Centre, The Netherlands

Sustainable, Flexible and Futureproof Hospital

The new building is located in the wooded area of Monnikenberg in Hilversum and will be combined with a small part of the current location. All acute, intensive and complex care, which is still provided at the current locations in Blaricum and Hilversum, will be concentrated in the new hospital. The compact new building is 70,000 m². With the current developments in healthcare and due to the optimally flexible structure and layout of spaces, this is a futureproof and sustainable design that allows the hospital to respond to, and advance with, developments in the coming decades.

Deerns Solutions

Deerns contributed to the project’s success by providing innovative solutions for energy, safety, and operational flexibility. A modular design for energy systems ensures each building section operates independently, enhancing reliability while allowing for scalable renovations. The energy concept includes ATES with heat pumps, energy-efficient lighting, climate systems, and waterborne heating for reduced consumption and emissions. The Save & Simple hot water concept eliminates central generation, using localised electric heaters for efficiency and simplicity. Fire safety was enhanced through a cost-effective alternative to traditional sprinkler systems, balancing patient safety with financial feasibility. Sustainability was prioritised throughout the project, enhancing the achievement of BREEAM Very Good certification.
