The future of Großhadern
Information on the new building
For the development of the University of Munich Hospital, the new Grosshadern Campus provides a unique opportunity to reflect modern medical concepts that focus on the patient in building structures.
The Grosshadern Campus of the LMU Hospital is being redesigned in several construction phases. Designs for the campus are being developed as part of an interdisciplinary competition for the first construction phase, which will start in June 2019.
For more than 40 years, the Großhadern Campus has been recognized nationally and internationally as an innovative high-performance medical location. The Großhadern-Martinsried alliance is the largest biomedical cluster in Europe, from which many outstanding research results and technological and biomedical innovations originate.
The aim is to secure and further expand this leading national and international position in the long term. State-of-the-art medical concepts, research at the highest level - combined with the implementation of the latest study results - and comprehensive training for the next generation of doctors are the prerequisites for this.
For around two decades, the University Hospital of Munich, like many other university hospitals in Germany and Europe, has been undergoing restructuring. The focus here is on the formation and establishment of disease-related centers and patient-oriented processes. The German Council of Science and Humanities expressly supports this development towards scientific profile centers in research and teaching and recommends it for university hospitals.
The formation of disease-related profile centers primarily benefits patients. They are treated in coherent, uniform, process-optimized structures according to their clinical picture. Patients find central points of contact and short distances, which contributes significantly to patient satisfaction. At the same time, the networking of research and method development as well as translation is promoted and intensified. Ultimately, economic synergy effects will also be achieved by bringing together specialist disciplines that work closely together.
In the current building structures on the Großhadern campus, which have remained virtually unchanged for more than 40 years, the formation of spatially coherent centers can only be implemented inadequately. At the same time, the technical infrastructure in all areas has reached the end of its functional life or upgrades and spare parts for equipment etc. are no longer available. This hinders the further development of the hospital as a top location.
On January 27, 2015, the Bavarian Cabinet approved a new building solution for the Großhadern campus in a landmark decision. The Free State of Bavaria, represented by the State Building Authority Munich 2, is the client for the buildings to be constructed on the Großhadern campus as part of the new building plans. The hospital is responsible for the basic concept of the new building and is involved in all key project decisions as a user.
For the development of the University of Munich Hospital, the new Grosshadern Campus building represents a unique opportunity to reflect modern medical concepts that focus on the patient in building structures.

"Form follows function is our motto," says Prof. Karl-Walter Jauch, Medical Director. Research, teaching and administration are also integrated according to this motto. Of central importance are the links between the cross-sectional areas, such as radiology and laboratory medicine, as well as the technical and commercial departments.
