The Jeil Orthopedic Hospital Cheongdam-dong Branch introduced a new trend in high-density urban hospital architecture. It presented a new design by utilizing a vertical circulation system, departing from the conventional horizontal spatial layout of hospitals operated in horizontal spaces, to meet both efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Through the use of vertical space, it minimized the required site occupancy area and efficiently arranged spaces such as parking lots and reception areas that were previously sources of inconvenience for hospital visitors, thereby increasing visitor satisfaction. This building is located on a small urban site, consisting of five underground and fifteen above-ground floors, accommodating 156 beds, along with medical facilities including MRI/CT units, wards, operating rooms, and community facilities. It is equipped with the necessary electrical and facility systems for medical facilities, including IPS, Nurse-Call, and medical gas systems. Additionally, it introduced state-of-the-art hospital management systems, allowing for integrated safety management of the building, including elevators, HVAC systems, lighting, and more, through a central information system. The Jeil Orthopedic Hospital's new building received the top prize in the '2014 BIM Award' category awarded by the Building Smart Association. Through BIM (Building Information Modeling) design, it conducted pre-construction simulations on the compact urban site, enabling early detection of issues to ensure the safe construction of the building.
