[Medical Specialization] The New "Medical" Reliance in Smart Healthcare: Wuhan Central Hospital Yangchun Lake Campus Medical Purification Project

High-quality medical resources from a century-old renowned hospital are expanding "across the river," located by Yangchun Lake and next to Wuhan Station. On August 7, the Yangchun Lake Campus of Wuhan Central Hospital (Hongshan District People's Hospital) officially began operations.

 

As a large, modern Grade III Class A hospital integrating medical care, research, education, prevention, and training, Wuhan Central Hospital has fully embraced its responsibility and commitment as one of China’s top 100 hospitals. Marking a significant milestone in its 143-year history of development, the hospital has made its first-ever move "across the river and out of the city," establishing the new Yangchun Lake Campus and embarking on a new journey toward a "single hospital with multiple campuses" model. Serving as Wuhan’s new "gateway," the Yangchun Lake area is now poised to end its longstanding absence of a public Grade III Class A hospital.

 

 

The Yangchun Lake Campus is being built under a "peace-and-war integration" model, with a total floor area of approximately 230,000 square meters and 1,000 planned beds. The new campus fully leverages the strengths of hospitals at both the city and district levels, seamlessly integrating advanced building-intelligent systems and cutting-edge smart healthcare technologies. It also marks the establishment of the first digital regional medical consortium in Hongshan District, serving a population of nearly 4 million residents across Hongshan, Wuchang, Qingshan, and other nearby areas. Additionally, benefiting from high-speed rail connectivity, the facility will extend its reach to people throughout the province and even into central China.

 

Leveraging its deep expertise and meticulous craftsmanship, Huakang Medical not only addresses the region's shortage of medical resources but also strengthens the digital, patient-friendly services at the Yangchun Lake campus. By building a cutting-edge, next-generation digital twin and smart hospital system—among the most advanced in China—the company is enabling smart healthcare to continuously drive high-quality growth in the health industry.

Craftsmanship: Powered by Technology

 

Huakang Medical has consistently upheld its corporate vision of "Celebrating Life Through Quality," adopting a model-first approach by meticulously inspecting every production step and continuously refining each process. In technical areas such as electrical systems, HVAC, plumbing, and interior decoration, we strictly adhere to current national and local codes, regulations, and industry standards. At the same time, our project plans are tailored to the specific construction conditions and needs of the Yangchun Lake campus. By leveraging innovative technological advancements, we deliver high-quality projects with an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and excellence.

 

1. "Integrated Approach to Pandemic and Routine Care"

 

As part of Wuhan City’s public health emergency management system infrastructure project and a major epidemic treatment base construction initiative, the Yangchun Lake campus is being built under a "routine-epidemic integration" model. Huakang Medical has implemented innovative solutions in specialized departments such as the ICU and RCU by dynamically adjusting airflow configurations to meet the hospital’s evolving needs across different phases: operating as a standard Grade III hospital during normal times, while seamlessly transitioning to full-scale public health response and treatment capabilities during emergencies. In terms of purification zone layout, the facility strictly adheres to the "three zones and two pathways" design principle, ensuring clear separation of clean and contaminated flows. Additionally, independent chilled and heated water systems have been installed to guarantee stable and safe operation of the purification areas at all times.

Additionally, Huakang Medical has integrated its self-control system into the building’s intelligent infrastructure, creating a new smart service model that serves both patients and medical staff. Examples include visitation systems, security systems, and monitoring systems, which collectively enhance the quality and efficiency of hospital services, setting a new benchmark for healthcare delivery.

 

Healing: Patient-Centered Approach

 

The construction of medical purification projects must not only meet the functional requirements of healthcare services but also emphasize the original commitment to "people-centric" care. Huakang Medical has implemented human-centered design across various aspects—such as color, lighting, sound, functionality, natural environment, decorative materials, and spatial layout—carefully considering the physical and psychological needs of diverse groups. This approach creates rich, immersive spatial experiences that align with users' comfort preferences and behavioral patterns, ultimately enhancing their sense of fulfillment and well-being.

 

1. Green Ecology: Nature's Healing Powers

 

Huakang Medical emphasizes the seamless integration of green spaces with medical architecture, placing patients at the center of the design. Through continuous landscape gardens and thoughtfully arranged indoor greenery, the firm aims to soften the "coldness" often associated with traditional medical spaces and alleviate the "oppressive atmosphere" of medical buildings—ultimately creating a "home-like" environment for patients during their healthcare journey.

 

Endoscopy Center

 

In addition, large glass skylights have been installed in areas such as the Endoscopy Center, NICU, CCU, and RICU, ensuring energy efficiency while maximizing natural light. These windows seamlessly blend the indoor spaces with the surrounding natural scenery, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow, soft tree silhouettes swaying gently in the breeze. Paired with delicate pale-green accents throughout the decor, this design fosters a healing environment where patients can feel harmoniously connected to nature, effectively enhancing the restorative power of nature and providing emotional comfort during their recovery.

2. Safety Redefined: A Reliable New "Medical" Support

 

The interventional center's automated operating room doors are enhanced with barium sulfate coating to increase lead thickness, effectively shielding against radiation. The operating room features rubber flooring, while other areas are equipped with durable, non-slip PVC flooring—both materials are environmentally friendly and promote health, aligning with the hospital’s commitment to sustainable development. Patient room walls are fitted with soundproofing materials, achieved by boosting the thickness of rock wool insulation, ensuring a quiet and comfortable environment for healing and treatment. Additionally, ABS anti-collision strips are installed on the walls of clean corridors, bed-change rooms, and other patient-transport zones, while stainless steel anti-collision strips are integrated into air-tight doors. Soft-covered materials are used to wrap sharp interior corners, minimizing the risk of injury from accidental bumps or collisions.
