Projects
Verkís is responsible for the detailed design of the new Faculty of Health Sciences building at the University of Iceland.
An integrated teaching and research environment at the heart of the Hringbraut healthcare campus.
Verkís is providing the detailed design for a new five-storey building for the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Iceland. The building will be connected to the existing Medical Centre (Læknagarður) and selected new facilities at the National University Hospital of Iceland.
The objective of the project is to bring the Faculty’s activities together in a single location on the grounds of the National University Hospital campus. The project also includes the refurbishment of the existing Medical Centre building.
The facility is being specifically designed to meet the needs of the Faculty. The new building will significantly enhance teaching and research facilities, increase flexibility and shared use of space, and provide a modern and sustainable environment for education and research.
The project is being developed using BIM methodologies and follows a sustainable design approach. The new building is intended to achieve certification under the BREEAM sustainability assessment framework.

The University of Iceland sought to create a modern, integrated home for its Faculty of Health Sciences, bringing education, research and clinical collaboration together within the Hringbraut healthcare campus. The project required a flexible, sustainable facility that would support future teaching methods while connecting seamlessly with both the existing Medical Centre and the National University Hospital.
Verkís is responsible for the detailed multidisciplinary engineering design of the new five-storey building and the refurbishment of the existing Medical Centre. The project is being delivered using Building Information Modelling (BIM) and follows a sustainable design approach, with the goal of achieving BREEAM certification. Our engineering solutions are designed to create adaptable learning and research environments that support collaboration, efficiency and long-term performance.
The new Faculty of Health Sciences will provide a state-of-the-art academic and research environment that strengthens collaboration between the University of Iceland and the National University Hospital. Through integrated engineering, digital design and sustainable building principles, Verkís is helping deliver a future-ready facility that supports innovation, education and healthcare for generations to come.
