Okmeydani City Hospital

🏥 Prof. Dr. Cemil Taşçıoğlu City Hospital

Designed as a general service hospital, Prof. Dr. Cemil Taşçıoğlu City Hospital has been planned to serve approximately 1.5 million outpatient visits and 50,000 inpatient treatments per year.

With a total capacity of 785 beds the hospital consists of 3 basement levels, 10 above-ground floors, and 1 technical floor, covering a total enclosed area of 180.000 m². A heliport is located on the hospital roof. The facility includes 146 outpatient clinics, 27 operating rooms, 55 emergency beds, and 81 intensive care units.
The hospital also provides a 475-vehicle parking capacity.

Equipped with advanced energy efficiency systems, the hospital operates a Trigeneration Plant, enabling it to produce a significant portion of its electricity from natural gas. The waste heat generated during energy production is utilized for heating and cooling, significantly reducing operational costs.

As the first public hospital in Turkey to receive LEED Gold (Green Building) Certification Prof. Dr. Cemil Taşçıoğlu City Hospital offers single and double patient rooms designed in full compliance with the Ministry of Health’s qualified patient room standards. Each room is equipped with a private bathroom, toilet, up to two beds, television, telephone, dining table, bedside cabinet, and a convertible companion chair, providing a five-star hotel level of comfort.

Duration: 2015-2017
Our Design Scope
Prior to the construction tender, the MEP designs prepared by another design author within the scope of LPh 1–5 were thoroughly reviewed by our team in terms of compliance with applicable standards, constructability, and system performance.

During this review process, required system optimizations and design revisions were identified and implemented through close coordination with the client authority, ensuring the readiness of the projects prior to construction.

In addition, BIM models were developed to facilitate effective coordination with other disciplines, resulting in significant time and cost savings during both material procurement and construction phases. [LPh 5-9].

Customer Feedback

“We have worked with IBS as the project designer (final design implementation) for the Okmeydanı Research & Training Hospital and Göztepe Research & Training Hospital, covering both new mechanical and electrical projects located in Istanbul, Turkey.

For both of these major hospital projects, IBS developed highly efficient electrical and mechanical systems by designing all projects using BIM (Building Information Modeling). The BIM models of both hospitals provided greater convenience during site works. In addition, both hospitals are candidates for LEED Gold Certification; therefore, IBS carried out the projects with a well-disciplined and detailed approach to achieve the high level of energy efficiency required for LEED Gold.

Additionally, the staff of IBS acted professionally, communicated clearly and efficiently, and completed the projects within tight timeframes. We are very satisfied with the services provided by IBS and would gladly work with them again in the future should any opportunity arise.”

“In the modern sense, the engineer is the person who converts the theoretical knowledge produced by scientists into practical knowledge that technicians can apply. In practice, with integrated relationship between architecture and engineering, sometimes the problems are redefined by the architect, who seeks a solution for the engineer. IBS shows an approach that is different from other engineering groups.

In this time, we expect engineers to participate in design; all engineering knowledge of IBS about the realization of our designs in accordance with international norms is praiseworthy. IBS has involved in the projects which we have worked with by producing techniques and alternatives that can realize the design.

Also, IBS goes on training to improve professional knowledge in this aspect with working on BIM platform. IBS has achieved great success in the use of BIM. I would like to thank Seyit Kaplan, who leads IBS team and his team and i wish their continued success.”
