New Karolinska Solna (NKS) is a state-of-the-art new hospital located next to Karolinska University Hospital in Hagastaden, the new city district where Solna and Stockholm meet over the shunting yard area of the former Norra station. Plannig and design of NKS have always been based on the patients's safety, integrity and comfort: all inpatients have a private room with associated hygiene facilities and space for relatives. The facility's exterior has a strict, functionalistic elegance, characterised by glass, steel and white clinker. The total new built area is approximately 330,000 sqm (3,550,000 sq ft) distributed in twelve floors. The project is LEED Gold^®.
