159 Category 4: Special Projects 4 Owner General Hospital Delta Roeselare - Menen Architect VK Architects & Engineers General Contractor Van Laere - De Nul Engineering Office VK Architects & Engineers Construction Period 2016 - 2018 VK Architects & Engineers were responsible for the design of a new Innovation and Learning centre for the AZ Delta hospital in Oekene, Belgium. The I&L centre is an expansion that will be built on the top of the logistics building. A steel structure on the top of the concrete building with 2 cantilevers on each side of the building. SCIA Engineer was used for every aspect of the design including the SCIA Revit Link for BIM design. The Revit model of the existing concrete building was sent to SCIA Engineer to allow for the definition of loads. The extra reactions due to wind and vertical loads could be added to check the columns and the foundation. The I&L centre is connected to the ground floor by an eye-catching stairway, and with the hospital by a footbridge. All these separate structures are designed in one complex three-dimensional structural model for the analysis of the global stability and deformations. A dynamic study of the theatre room was made and the human induced vibrations of the steel structure were checked in a second model.
