Motol Oncology Centre

For the Faculty Hospital in Motol, we are completing the construction of a  building that focusses on radiotherapy and other oncological diseases. Motolskě Oncology centre is being built directly on the hospital premises between Roentgenova and Weberova streets, it will surround the existing building on the north, south and east sides.

The dominant motif is the shape of an arch that cascades up the sloping land along Roentgenova Street, which at the same time surrounds the inner atrium garden, bounded on the west by the main entrance hall. This then connects to the northern vertical, which operationally connects a large part of the building.

Special emphasis is placed on making the stay at the centre as pleasant as possible for patients. This will be helped, for example, by the glazed areas through which a large amount of light will flow to the interior, and the views provided of Prague and other atrium gardens, richly planted with grasses, trees and shrubs. The greenery will transition from the exterior and the interior. Its presence would accompany patients during their stay in a place that is unfortunately associated with extraordinary physical and psychological stress.

The operation of the Motol Oncology Centre will be adapted to cancer diagnosis, treatment and research. In addition to medical facilities, the facility will also include a lecture hall, a restaurant, and a two-storey parking lot for 200 cars.

A new underground corridor will then connect the centre with the other buildings of Motol.
