press release, October 10, 2018
KONE, a global leader in the elevator
and escalator industry, has won an order to provide elevators for
the New Aalborg University Hospital (NAU) in the north of Denmark.
Categorized in Danish terms as a "super hospital", NAU will occupy
an area of 170,000 square meters. It is expected to provide 370,000
outpatient consultations and 30,000 medical operations by
2020.
NAU will unite two existing hospitals
and is designed to become the center of the North Denmark Region's
healthcare system. The ultramodern complex will be built to meet
the future needs of patients and staff, and its location near the
Aalborg University and the University College of Northern Denmark
(UCN) aims to ensure close ties with the academic and research
communities.
KONE will equip the hospital complex
with 41 KONE MonoSpace® 700 machine-room-less elevators and 18
heavy-duty KONE TranSysTM passenger, freight and service
elevators.
"We are pleased to provide our
innovative solutions to this ambitious project, which seeks to
enhance the quality of healthcare in the region," says Thomas
Hinnerskov, executive vice president, KONE Central and North
Europe. "KONE is well-equipped to facilitate the smooth flow of
people that is of vital importance in this hospital setting."
NAU is a development of the North
Denmark Region. The project's architects and contractors belong to
the Indigo consortium.
The order was booked in the third
quarter of 2018.
