The accommodating lobby in the new psychiatric ward in Vejle.
Vejle Psychiatric Hospital
Modern psychiatric unit and emergency department create a professional and valuable treatment environment
Vejle Psychiatric Hospital
The building is located in the beautiful Vejle Ådal and the picturesque landscape is an important element in the architectural design. The building totals 17,400 m2 and is set over two storeys. The new psychiatric unit is near Vejle Hospital and the two areas are linked via a footbridge and a tunnel.
PPP project
The psychiatric unit has been built as a PPP project with DEAS as the operational partner and the PensionDanmark, PKA and SamPension pension funds as financing partners. Because the partners share responsibility for the new building, the PPP ensures a long-term, financially viable and competitive building solution.
Nature is incorporated as an architectonic element in the psychiatric hospital.
Operations for the next 25 years
The new psychiatric unit partnership builds on an agreement we made in 2012 with DEAS and the pension funds with regard to joint participation in future Public-Private Partnership projects. With the pension funds’ function as the project’s financing partners, we will manage the operation of the building for the next 25 years in collaboration with DEAS.
Operational responsibility includes maintenance of the buildings, installations and parking facilities, which will ensure that the buildings are future proofed and that the new psychiatric unit will be assured of a high operating level.
A building in a picturesque setting
Access to nature and views of the countryside aid the healing process of psychiatric patients. The unit, therefore, is built around communal areas and open, recreational courtyards.
One of the facilities at the psychiatric ward in Vejle is a gym, containing several training facilities.
