Grand Hôpital de Charleroi
Charleroi

The largest non-university hospital in Belgium has been built on the former Les Viviers mine site in Charleroi. The Grand Hôpital de Charleroi combines five existing hospitals into one ultra-modern care complex of 145,000 m². Group Jansen, together with partners Franki and Jan De Nul, was responsible for the complete interior finishing, with attention to comfort, efficiency and people-oriented care.

Challenge

A hospital of this scale requires more than just construction expertise. The challenge lay in creating a warm, accessible environment within a complex of almost 900 beds, 29 operating theaters and countless care functions. Group Jansen had to integrate a variety of techniques and finishes – from hermetic doors to fixed furnishings – without sacrificing quality or planning. Thanks to a well-thought-out approach and close cooperation, a care environment was created that is both functional and welcoming.

Result

No traditional hospital layout

Grand Hôpital de Charleroi is a real eye-catcher for the city. The floor plan deviates from the traditional hospital layout and focuses on the process logic of care, resulting in an efficient and flexible structure. It also prevents patients and visitors from getting lost in a maze of corridors, as is often the case in large hospitals. Everything is designed with people in mind, making the campus more organized and accessible. And that naturally matches perfectly with the vision of Group Jansen. As makers, builders or sustainers, we create unique places to be every day. Buildings and spaces where you like to live, work, heal or enjoy.

With attention to detail & quality

Our work includes site setup, demolition work, plastering, drywall partitions, interior joinery, fire-resistant and sound-dampening doors, hermetic and semi-hermetic sliding doors, synthetic resin and raised floors, interior balustrades, stairs, curtain boxes, gypsum, slat, and fiber ceilings, painting work, fixed furniture, flooring and more. Everything was executed with attention to detail and quality, so that patients and visitors experience a warm, safe and functional environment.

Architecture and Finishing that Contributes to an Improved Care Experience.

“Grand Hôpital de Charleroi is a beautiful example of how architecture and finishing contribute to an improved care experience. It was a major challenge to construct such a complex building in a rapidly evolving medical sector.”
