The Faculty Hospital in Brno is preparing several new construction projects with a combined value exceeding CZK 2 billion. Hospital director Ivo Rovný and deputy for investments Radoslav Basel outlined the upcoming plans at a briefing with journalists. Alongside projects already underway, the hospital intends to build new facilities for child psychiatry, outpatient hematology-oncology care, treatment of highly dangerous infectious diseases, and a separate administrative building. Individual projects range in cost from around CZK 120 million to nearly CZK 1 billion.
Current construction includes a new institutional pharmacy and a modular building for a children’s group. Preparations are also underway for a pavilion for the Clinic of Gynecology, Obstetrics and Neonatology, as well as a new parking house near the Children’s Hospital in Černá Pole.
“We plan to build a new pavilion for child psychiatry in the Bohunice complex of the hospital. The building should be two stories high, with the inpatient part on the second floor. The increase in child psychiatric diseases is concerning, and we are trying to prepare to help children by increasing the care capacity in our hospital,” said Rovný. The hospital expects the project to exceed CZK 300 million.
A pavilion for comprehensive outpatient hematology-oncology care, including clinics and day-care units, is estimated at close to CZK 1 billion. The aim is to reduce waiting times and increase capacity.
Hospital management is also considering a separate pavilion for highly infectious diseases and a new administrative building by 2030. Basel noted that administrative offices are currently dispersed across the campus, limiting coordination and using space that could otherwise serve medical functions. The administrative project is estimated at up to CZK 400 million and may be built in phases.
Two further projects are intended to improve comfort for patients and staff. A parking structure with approximately 800 spaces, estimated at around CZK 500 million, is planned by the city-owned company Brněnské komunikace, although the hospital and city must still agree on a land-swap arrangement. A unified entrance building is also planned to simplify patient navigation, concentrating registration, information services and a retail pharmacy in one location. The entrance building is expected to cost CZK 169 million, and a feasibility study is being prepared.
