Masaryk University's Simulation Center project seeks to innovate the teaching of medical programs by employing medical simulation. The facility, at present the most modern simulation center in Central Europe, is equipped like an actual hospital: heliport, operating theatres, intensive care units, medical equipment and simulators. The building completes the academic section of the university campus while simultaneously functioning as an entrance gate to the campus from the east. The southern part of the building is compact and features an inner atrium, which is connected to a bridge spanning Kamenice Street and transitioning into the base of the northern part of the layout. Although the layout features a prominent bend, the building is compact and constitutes a clean compositional element. The overpass, sheathed in gold-colored perforated metal cladding, bridges Kamenice Street; the supporting structure is tapered and arches towards a parking lot situated in Studentská Street.
The load-bearing structure consists of a reinforced concrete skeleton and steel structure with steel lattice girders. Ground-source heat pumps provide heating, cooling and hot water. A total of 42 wells are located at a depth of 150 m. Secondary sources include a gas boiler room and a compressor cooling system. Nearly all rooms are furnished with air conditioning. Fresh air is supplied by induction units, which also facilitate heating and cooling. Coupled with heat recovery ventilation and high-quality cladding, this approach results in an energy-efficient solution. Lighting is provided by LED sources. Lecture rooms and common areas are equipped with a DALI lighting control system. The building management system is fully automated, thus minimizing energy consumption and optimizing the management process.
