The new Malmi Hospital will be a rehabilitative hospital with a focus on geriatric acute care and rehabilitation and the further treatment of surgical patients.
Construction of the new Malmi Hospital is set to begin in 2028.
The project in brief
In the future, Malmi will be the second site of Helsinki Hospital. According to the 2030 hospital district vision for the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, the operations of the Helsinki Hospital will be divided between the Malmi and Meilahti–Laakso districts in the future.
The planning phase of the new Malmi Hospital will last until approximately 2027. The construction phase is planned to begin in 2028, and the premises are expected to be ready for use in 2032.
Architectural competition
The City of Helsinki is organising an architectural competition for the design of the new Malmi Hospital. The architectural competition will be held as a two-stage invitational competition.
Registration for the competition will open in November 2022. The two-stage invitational competition seeks fresh solutions for hospital design. The main goal of the competition is to design a good public space and a healing environment.
The first phase of the invitational competition will start in January 2023. Some of the designs will be selected for the second phase, which is intended to begin in June 2023. The aim is to publish the results of the competition by the end of January 2024.
Construction schedule
The aim is to begin construction in 2028. The building and its surroundings are intended to be completed and operations to begin in 2032.
The schedules are preliminary and may be subject to changes during the project.
