📋 Tender Overview
St. Jans Gasthuis Weert is set to receive new buildings financed with EU funds. A 40 million loan has been granted by the European Investment Bank EIB with a 15 million loan from BNG Bank completing the financing package for the new construction projects. The buildings will not only provide a more efficient working environment but will also comply with the EU taxonomy for the construction sector via their energy efficiency. The new hospital will also offer a pleasant and modern environment for its patients and employees.The oldest of the buildings housing the St. Jans Gasthuis Weert SGJ dates from the middle of the last century with a few additions having been made over the years. It is approaching the limits of what is possible in terms of work organisation in the current facilities. A new hospital is set to be built in two phases on the St. Jans Gasthuis current site as part of a ten-year renovation project. More efficient organisation of its facilities and tasks will enable the hospital to operate in a smaller space than it occupies today.EIB Vice-President Kris Peeters said The European Investment Banks activities aim to improve peoples lives. The EIB has financed a large number of health facilities in the Netherlands in recent years starting with university hospitals. The Bank is delighted to now be able to provide the same financial support to local hospitals. As the EIB is also the EU climate bank it welcomes the energy efficiency of the future buildings and the major reduction in emissions they will bring about.During the first phase of the work part of the existing campus will be demolished and replaced by a new building housing services including the maternity unit nursing emergency care and a pharmacy. The second phase will see the construction of the other building which will house operating theatres an outpatient clinic offices and a restaurant. The new campus will cover around 20 000 m2 compared to the 35 000 m2 occupied by the current facilities. This reduction in floor space and the energy efficient construction will enable substantially lower energy costs and CO2 emissions.
