Siloah St. Trudpert Clinic Training Centre

Attractive learning centre for nursing staff

For the Siloah St. Trudpert Clinic in Pforzheim, the architectural firm Roger Strauß from Karlsruhe has created a multifunctional staff building that fulfils many functions. On the ground floor, the nursing school provides a learning environment for two hundred and fifty students. The hospital administration is based on the first floor. Ninety-six small apartments were created on the upper two floors for the hospital's employees. Due to the hillside location, the lower floor is accessible at ground level and offers attractive rooms for the family centre in addition to technical and utility areas. Together with the school's assembly hall, a central courtyard forms the centrepiece of the new complex. It serves as a common area for the school and allows natural light into the rooms and corridors on all floors. The nursing school is equipped with seven classrooms, three demo rooms and a multi-purpose room. In the administration area, individual and group offices as well as combined offices were glazed with fecofix double glazing flush with the wall. This gives the centre zone daylight and a connection to the outside. The wooden doors also create a reference to nature with the oak veneer surface of the door leaves and contribute to a cosy ambience. The RAL 9010 pure white powder-coated profiles and frames emphasise the bright and friendly character of the working environment.
