Hospital

Kahramanmaraş Health Campus

The Integrated Health Campus comprises four buildings: the 1,000-bed Main Hospital, an Oral and Dental Health Center, a Nursery, and a Technical Service Unit. Planned on a 300,000 m² site, the campus responds to the significant level differences across the expansive terrain, integrating the buildings with the existing topography.

The Main Hospital is organized around a central block housing the emergency department and operating theatres, with six extending ward and polyclinic blocks. Entrances are located at the angled junctions between these blocks, where open courtyards define the main points of access. Emergency entrances are positioned on one side of the central block, while the main hospital entrance and conference hall are located on the opposite side. Taking advantage of the site’s natural slope, the building operates across three distinct ground levels.

Polyclinics occupy the ground and first floors of the ward blocks, with separate ground-floor entrances distributing outpatient circulation across the complex. Circulation systems are clearly differentiated for patients, visitors, staff, and services. Horizontal and vertical circulation routes, together with programmatic zoning, separate outpatient, inpatient, visitor, staff, and service flows to minimize conflicts and ensure efficient movement throughout the hospital. Mechanical areas located on the upper levels are enclosed within an architectural shell that extends continuously across the façade and roof.

The building’s massing maximizes its relationship with the surrounding landscape and natural topography. The outward-extending ward and polyclinic blocks establish distinct architectural focal points at their ends. The façade is characterized by a contrast between light and dark materials, accented by orange elements that introduce a dynamic visual identity. Particular emphasis is placed on access to daylight, with façade sunshades providing controlled natural light where required.

The interior design uses materials and colors to create a warm and calm healthcare environment. Entrance areas are articulated externally by metal canopies and reinforced internally through generous gallery spaces, strengthening their visibility and spatial hierarchy.

In addition to the general hospital functions, the Main Hospital accommodates specialized units for pediatrics, orthopedics and neurology, maternity, cardiovascular care, and oncology. Including two basement levels and technical floors, the seven-story Main Hospital has a total enclosed construction area of 311,264 m². Together with the other buildings, the Integrated Health Campus reaches a total enclosed construction area of 334,252 m².
