Südspidol – healthcare hub of the future in Luxembourg
Published on: May 15, 2025
Sweco is leading the development of Südspidol in Luxembourg – an innovative hospital complex that combines patient focus, technology and sustainability to create a safe, modern healthcare environment for future generations.
Südspidol, in Luxembourg, is one of Sweco’s most ambitious hospital projects. With an area of 121,000 square metres and around 600 hospital beds, most of them in single rooms, the complex redefines the way we approach hospital design.
The project combines advanced technology with sustainable, patient-centred design, with the aim of creating a place that promotes both physical recovery and well-being.

Sweco is responsible for all design processes, as well as site supervision and commissioning. More than 50 stakeholders from various countries are working collaboratively, through integrated project management and consulting services. BIM and other technologies are being used to optimise results. The collaboration includes architectural partners G.A.F. (Netherlands), S.W.A.A. (Luxembourg) and LSC Engineering Group for landscape design and construction supervision.
The project combines patient-centred care with sustainability – using solar panels, geothermal energy and thermal activation of the building mass – with the aim of achieving DGNB certification for sustainable construction. A park surrounds the building and is open to the public, creating a harmonious environment for hospital staff, patients and visitors.
The triangular architecture and seamless flows enable efficient navigation and smooth processes for patients and personnel. Scheduled for completion in 2033, Südspidol will be a central hub for three existing hospitals and will offer advanced care in oncology, psychiatry and geriatrics. The project is more than a hospital – it is a vision for the future of healthcare in the region.
