The hospital is designed by the Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron in cooperation with the Danish Vilhelm Lauritzen architects. Herzog and de Meuron and Vilhelm Lauritzen architects has formed a joint venture, which represents the Lead Consultant of the project.
During the execution of the project, a range of Client deliverables shall be placed/installed in the building. The Contractor must coordinate the following Client deliverables.
The Capital Region of Copenhagen is building a new hospital, the New Hospital North Zealand (NHN). The ambition is to create a functional, flexible and healing hospital for the future.
The joint emergency room will be a key feature of the hospital. Beautiful architecture and a functional disposition of logistics and functions will offer the patients, relatives, citizens and employees, a hospital which is the state of art and sets forward new standards regarding treatment as well as education and research. The hospital brings together all functions of the building in one organic four-leaf clover-shaped building.
As point of reference the functions of the hospital has developed clear concepts for standardization, which are future-orientated.
In order to meet the ambitions of the hospital, NHN has developed five leading principles.

It is an ambitious project, and not just regarding the architecture, the project also requires sustainability and modern solutions in regards to e.g. energy consumption, cooling, waste and wastewater treatment, and the handling of rainwater on the ground in watercourses and landscaped ponds.
In order to fulfil the high ambitions of the project, NHN intends to secure a close collaboration between the Lead Consultant, the Main Contractor and NHN. It is the belief of NHN that a close and trustful collaboration between the parties will ensure the intentions of the project in the best possible way. Thus, NHN has developed a procurement model, which:
Enables collaboration between the Main Contractor and the Lead Consultant regarding the finalising of the design
Enables the Main Contractor to plan for an early start of construction, whilst the detailed design is finalised
Reinforce budget compliance by engaging a Main Contractor in scrutinising the design for buildability before final pricing
Facilitate a process where the knowledge and experience regarding buildability, cost and time will contribute to a successful execution of the project
The Lead Consultant will continue to have full responsibility for the design of the project. However, the Main Contractor will be given the possibility to scrutinise the design in order to improve buildability and to propose other solutions in order to mitigate risks and improve cost and time.
