Trasoppklinikken

Extensive renovation and new construction in connection with the existing clinic.

Trasoppklinikken provides specialized services for individuals with substance abuse and addiction issues and their families. The clinic offers inpatient treatment, outpatient services, and family therapy, among other services. In connection with ongoing operations, the clinic has identified the need to upgrade its facilities. One key aspect is the need for private bathrooms in each room. Additionally, the clinic sees a need for increased capacity.

Currently, the clinic has 23 patient rooms with space for 34 beds. After the expansion, capacity will increase by 31 rooms to a total of 65. The expansion also includes space for facilities such as a gym, classrooms, and other activity-based functions. The family house will be demolished after the construction project is completed, and its functions will be relocated to the new addition.

Renovating, remodeling, and expanding the facility will help make Trasoppklinikken a more modern and attractive clinic for both patients and staff. The current gross floor area (GFA) is approximately 2,470 square meters, and after the project is completed, the estimated area will be 4,829 square meters. The regulations specify a total combined GFA, including parking and potential expansion of field B, of 7,500 square meters. The floor plans are adapted to the spatial plan, and the solutions have been agreed upon with Trasoppklinikken’s construction committee.

KONSEPT

The new solution for Trasoppklinikken is designed with a focus on optimizing operations and facilitating a more efficient and practical organization of functions.

A new building, called building E, is dedicated to common functions that have outward-facing activities. This helps separate these functions from the clinic’s internal operations and ensures that residents are not unnecessarily disturbed by other visitors. At the same time, this opens up the possibility of renting out premises and generating additional income.

The staff canteen and dining area have been expanded to meet the increased capacity needs. The common areas in the basement are largely retained but will be upgraded and supplemented with new functions in the new building. Additionally, new common functions have been established in building D, which will be accessible to all user groups.

The detoxification department remains where it is today, but certain changes are planned to optimize the solution. The patient rooms in building A2 will be converted into offices to consolidate office functions. The inpatient clinic rooms will be located in building C and parts of building B, with new stairs and elevators to ensure good communication between different parts of the clinic.

The existing buildings largely maintain their current functions, but the additions will complement these while providing each patient room with its own bathroom. The canteen area will be renovated to provide more and better dining space, while new rooms in building E will offer larger groups various activities that the clinic currently lacks. New sheltered common areas for inpatients are located in building D, and new changing rooms with showers have been built in the basement, with accessibility considerations for people with mobility and visual impairments.

Overall, the building is designed to be wheelchair accessible with step-free access via external ramps, multiple elevators, and adapted toilet and locker solutions. These measures ensure that the clinic is accessible and user-friendly for all patients and staff.
