The Ewha Womans University Medical Center and College of Medicine project officially began in 2013 when Junglim Architecture won the priority negotiation rights for detailed design through a specified competitive bidding. Unlike typical Korean hospitals centered on four-person rooms, Ewha Womans University Medical Center (EUMC) is the first large hospital in Korea designed with a focus on three-person rooms with 1,014 beds. This represents a shift from function-centric medical facilities of the past to patient-centered healing environments and embodies a concept differentiated from existing large hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To overcome height restrictions due to aviation altitude limits and limited horizontal building length governed by the district unit plan, a neat mass consisting of four towers and a courtyard was applied. Through the courtyard, the hospital secures continuous interior-exterior space and openness, and the atrium on lower floors clearly separates outpatient and central treatment areas, maximizing functional efficiency and easing wayfinding for visitors. The College of Medicine, a complex facility that houses classrooms, labs, a library, faculty offices, and a dormitory, emphasizes functional separation of different areas and circulation paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EUMC and the College of Medicine aim to realize sustainable medical facilities by reducing energy costs, enhancing indoor-outdoor environmental quality, and implementing low-impact development. Vertical shades and the use of photovoltaic and solar thermal generations reduced energy costs by over 30%. The courtyard provides daylight and green spaces as part of an eco-friendly plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
