UrBC, Yekaterinburg, February 14, 2018. The construction of a set of new buildings to house maternity and fertility clinic in Yekaterinburg’s Akademicheskiy District will begin at the end of March, Sverdlovsk Oblast Information Policy Department reports.

The new facilities are meant to become the basis of a new medical cluster in the area. The fertility research institute will be located at the intersection of Amundsen St and Sakharov Ave.

A 5.5-hectare stretch of land has been allocated for the purpose. The entire structure will be some 9,500 m2 large. The layout covers an in-patient unit with 235 beds, a diagnostics center big enough for 150 simultaneous adult patient appointments, and a follow-up observation/rehabilitation unit for infant patients combined with a diagnostics section.

The clinic will have all the necessary infrastructure such as a garage/parking area, a boiler house, an oxygen station, two transformer substations, and a diesel-generator plant.

Some preparatory jobs are also in progress for the medical-purpose building to house Ural State Medical University and students’ dorms.
