New AKH
Model of the AKH
General Hospital main entrance
Over time, the Josephinischen buildings of General Hospital became unzweckgemäß (purposeless), so that has been decided in 1957 to build a new large central clinic.
(Josephinian style, the Josephinian style, also Josephinian Baroque or Josephinian Classicism denominated, is a stylistic direction of the Austrian art, of arts and crafts, interior design and architecture of the Josephinism in the Habsburg Empire under Emperor Joseph II in the 18th Century.)
Construction of the new AKH in Alsergrund was began in the summer of 1964 with the nursing school, including boarding and personnel dormitories (3 "sister towers") at Lazarettgasse 14. From the year 1968 followed the second phase of construction with the university hospitals for Pediatrics, Psychiatry, University Clinic for Child and Adolescent Neuropsychiatry, Depth Psychology and Psychotherapy, and a day care center for children at the Gürtel ("clinics at South Garden"). These were opened in 1974 and 1975. The planning behoved an architectural partnership, which included Wolfgang Bauer, Georg Köhler, Felix Kässens, Hannes Lintl, Georg Lippert, Alexander Marchart, Roland Moebius, Otto Mayr and Otto Nobis. 1970 was started at the Gürtel (belt) with the underground garage and 1974 with the located behind main house. This consists of the ambulance and surgical area (51 ORs) and two large, a total of 22 floors high bed towers, which accommodate 2,199 beds.
The AKH is connected with its own metro station Michelbeuern/AKH to the public transport network. The central building with the bed towers was officially opened in 1994, but already (partially) used since 1991. Total construction costs were at about 45 billion shillings (now approximately 3.3 billion euros) estimated in 2004 - originally projected were 1 billion shillings (around 73 million euros). The construction costs were funded jointly by the City of Vienna and the federal government. The cost explosion and an associated bribery scandal in the construction of the new AKH General Hospital led to the AKH-scandal, the up to the present biggest Austrian building scandal. Did one speak earlier of "the General", so with the construction slowly began the term "General Hospital" to spread, primarily for new buildings, and became mainly from the AKH scandal in 1980 more and more the dominant term.
At present (2011) are approximately 9,300 persons employed at the General Hospital, of which about 1,600 physicians and more than 4,500 health and nursing staff. Annually, almost 99,000 patients are inpatients and half a million patients are treated in the 397 clinics. About 7,500 students are enrolled at the Medical University of Vienna.
On 19 July 2003 was transplanted from a team of doctors of the hospital world-wide for the first time a human tongue.
School
To prevent stationary admitted children of school age with prolonged hospital stay miss too much class time, there is a branch of the AKH Vienna sanatorium school.
Pastoral Care
For the religious and spiritual needs of our patients a variety of facilities are available. Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant (AB and HB) Christians get together with Muslims and Jews spiritual care.
As the old AKH is no longer used as a hospital, there is for the sick ones of Jewish faith a prayer room in level 5 between the two towers of the new building, in charge of this is the Chief Rabbinate of the Jewish Community Vienna.
Orientation
The main entrance to the General Hospital leads through the entrance and administration building and is located on Level 5. Basis of the orientations is a color system the main corridor system being highlighted in blue. The main corridors thereby run here in east-west direction and are arranged as a so-called H-corridor system. The destinations (medical departments) are highlighted in orange and yellow doors mark the way to the escape stairs. In addition exist for the two bed-houses own colors. The easterly situated bed house including the elevator doors of the corresponding lifts is red, the westerly bed house marked green. The individual floors are referred to as "plane".
