Péterfy Sándor Street Hospital and Outpatient Clinic III.
Reconstruction of the Central Accident Institute on Fiumei Road
Following the completion of the design works, this member institution became part of the North Pest Centrum Hospital. Its current name is Dr. Jenő Manninger Trauma Centre.
The building of the Central Accident Institute, completed in 1940, is an outstanding example of Hungarian modernist architecture and was also one of the best-equipped hospitals of its time. Between 1937 and 1939, its designers were Gedeon Gerlóczy, Béla Grundböck and Nándor Körmendy. In 1984, the building complex underwent a major renovation and reconstruction, during which some of its architectural values were lost from its external appearance.

One of the greatest challenges in designing the reconstruction of this protected building was to create harmony between the architectural and medical technology regulations of the original period and those in force today, while also ensuring a quality of care that meets contemporary expectations. One of the strictest design requirements was that the reconstruction and conversion works in the areas accommodating the operating theatres and intensive care unit had to be planned in a way that would allow them to be carried out within a maximum period of 30 days. The operating theatre groups of this institution, which provides nationwide care, could not be taken out of service for any longer period, even on a rotating basis.
As a result of the design, the connection between the renovated helicopter landing area — also suitable for use by new-generation helicopters — and the emergency operating theatres can be significantly improved through the introduction of a new lift and a connecting corridor.
The building’s 3D model was created on the basis of digital scanning, which provided major support in resolving the placement of the pipework, cabling and equipment of upgraded mechanical, electrical and medical technology systems within the limited available spaces.
