Péterfy Sándor Hospital and Outpatient Clinic III.
Reconstruction of the Central Accident Institute on Fiumei Road
Following the completion of the design work, the institution came under the supervision of Észak-Pesti Centrumkórház–Honvédkórház (North Pest Central Hospital–Honvéd Hospital). Its official name is Budapesti Dr. Manninger Jenő Baleseti Központ (Budapest Dr. Jenő Manninger Trauma Centre).
The Central Accident Institute building, opened in 1940, is an outstanding example of Hungarian modernist architecture and was one of the best-equipped hospitals of its time. The building was designed between 1937 and 1939 by Gedeon Gerlóczy, Béla Grundböck and Nándor Körmendy. In 1984, the building complex underwent extensive renovation and reconstruction, which altered its exterior and resulted in the loss of some original architectural features.

One of the greatest challenges in designing the reconstruction of this heritage-listed building was reconciling the architectural and medical technology requirements of the original period with current standards, while ensuring that the facilities could meet modern healthcare needs.
One of the strictest design requirements was that the reconstruction and alteration works affecting the operating theatres and intensive care unit had to be completed within a maximum of 30 days. The operating theatre units of this institution, which provides nationwide care, could not be taken out of service for any longer period, even on a rotating basis.
The planned new lift and connecting corridor could significantly improve access between the renovated helipad, designed to accommodate newer-generation helicopters, and the emergency operating theatres.
We created the building’s 3D model from digital scanning data, which helped us accommodate the piping, cabling and equipment of the upgraded mechanical, electrical and medical technology systems within the limited available space.
