Start for Modular Construction at Vienna Lorenz Böhler Hospital in May
Occupancy of the new building at the Lorenz Böhler Hospital is expected to be possible from summer 2026. "We are staying on course," said AUVA Director General Alexander Bernhart in a statement. With the completion of the tender process, an "important step for the future of the Brigittenau site" was made, added Bernhart.
Fire Safety Deficiencies Led to Relocation of Lorenz Böhler Hospital
Whether a possible complete new hospital construction at the Lorenz Böhler Hospital site in Vienna-Brigittenau will occur after several years of operation in the modular hospital is still unclear. "We are now focusing on the completion of the modular construction," said a spokesperson for APA. This question cannot be answered reliably at the moment. The spokesperson also referred to ongoing coordination with "other partners" in this context. The Lorenz Böhler Hospital in Vienna-Brigittenau made headlines last year because a rapid relocation was necessary due to fire safety deficiencies. Services were outsourced to other facilities, including the AUVA Trauma Center in Meidling. Since July 2024, only outpatient treatments within the framework of a day clinic operation have been taking place in Brigittenau.
