Mephared = Medical + Pharmaceutical Education
The Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy is undergoing a significant transformation in its second phase, aiming to upgrade and expand its facilities. Spanning a 3-hectare campus, the project includes 60,000 square meters of modern spaces designed for medical education and research.
This initiative is tailored to serve a diverse community of 2,500 students and 700 staff across the Medicine and Pharmacy faculties. The plan features six auditoriums, the largest accommodating up to 350 people, fostering an environment for lectures and collaborative learning. The facility includes 15 departments equipped with offices, classrooms, and various laboratories, covering essential fields such as microscopy, cryopreservation, radioisotope research, and more. Core facilities range from advanced microscopes to a vivarium accommodating up to 10,500 laboratory animals.
To optimize space, an underground car park spanning 9,000 square meters has been incorporated to ensure convenient parking for all. The public realm is designed to encourage use of the external environment for users’ wellbeing and includes a significant tree planting strategy and natural water features.
The design focuses on functionality and aesthetics, creating an environment that promotes learning, innovation, and well-being. The project's goals extend beyond physical infrastructure, aiming to make the faculty an innovation hub and a model for educational excellence.
Aligned with global objectives, the project seeks to significantly contribute to the growth of qualified human resources. This involves enhancing research and development in medicine, pharmacy, and biomedical sciences, as well as improving healthcare for residents of the Czech Republic.
