With the new Stuttgart Cancer Centre – The Eva Mayr-Stihl Tumor Centre – Stuttgart Hospital will have a facility, in which interdisciplinary efforts are being made to fight cancer. This new purpose-built building was planned with BIM
More than 10,000 cancer patients are treated at Stuttgart Hospital every year. In order to bring together the broad expertise in the various specialist areas surrounding cancer medicine under one roof, the new Stuttgart Cancer Centre (SCC) – The Eva Mayr-Stihl Tumor Centre is currently being built in the heart of the city.
After its completion (expected in 2024), an oncology day clinic, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and other areas of cancer patient care will work hand-in-hand on one site.
Schmidt Plöcker Architekten, based in Frankfurt, was responsible for the execution and planning of this special healthcare building, with the design planning conducted by Sweco. On behalf of the general contractor, Gustav Epple, the BIM method – OPEN BIM to be precise – was to be used to deliver the project.
As part of the masterplan for the new Stuttgart Hospital Campus, this new building closes the urban edge at the corner of Kriegsbergstraße/Hegelplatz. Between the second basement and second floor, the brachytherapy and cancer therapy areas as well as oncology day care will be housed. The floors above will house – with another 50 beds – the care and functional areas of radiation and nuclear medicine.
Structurally, the building is a reinforced concrete construction with flat ceilings. Some ceilings and walls are made of baryte concrete due to the radiation protection requirements of the design.
Building model in Allplan
In addition to the pure BIM-based design, Schmidt Plöcker also took over the overall BIM coordination, the preparation of the client information requirements (CIR) and the BIM execution plan (BEP), as well as the coordination of a model-based digital attribute database for integrating the component information from all specialist consultancies.
The building model was created in Allplan. From this, it was possible to derive all the necessary plans, such as floorplans (ground plan and floor levels) and ceiling levels, or detailed drawings (wall views in the form of sectional derivations, for example). Derivations from the model were also used for detailed planning.
BIM coordination via Bimplus by ALLPLAN
The BIM coordination of the project was carried out using the open BIM platform Bimplus. The cloud-based solution was used to connect the external specialist consultancies and their models and to interface with the Prevera database, which was used to generate an integrated technical room book for the transfer of room, door and window information. The exchange of attributes between architectural and technical models or the different programs also ran bidirectionally via the Bimplus platform.
In addition, Schmidt Plöcker used Bimplus for quality assurance and verification of the model, as well as for documentation to chronicle through revisions of the various specialist models. Communication among the project participants took place via the integrated Issue Manager functionality. For further quality assurance of the BIM models, Solibri review software was used, among others.
