laboratory

Wrocław, Poland

AAB Architektura has completed a specialist fertility clinic,
with a one-day hospital, and IVF laboratory at Grabiszyńska
FStreet in Wrocław, Poland. The technologically complex
function enables the diagnosis and treatment of women, based on the
latest medical knowledge. The curved geometry, characteristic of the
female body during the prenatal development of a child, determined
the character of the interior.

Function
The technologically complex medical function is divided into three
interrelated zones. In the specialist clinic, within treatment rooms and
interview rooms, the patient is provided with medical consultations
in the field of gynecology, genetics, oncology, prenatal diagnostics,
and psychology. The clinic is adjoined to a one-day hospital with
an operating theatre. In the hospital, it is possible to perform
minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures and diagnose diseases
using technically advanced methods with the use of ultra-miniature
cameras and optics. An analytical laboratory and IVF laboratory are
connected with the hospital. The IVF laboratory allows treating a
partner’s infertility using the in-vitro method, including ICSI, IMSI-
MSOME, FAMSI, AH.

and ceiling, generating the illusion of movement. They become a
