The Government Medical College and District Hospital at Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, is a substantial healthcare initiative developed for the Uttar Pradesh Public Works Department. The project spans a total area of 750,000 square feet and is designed to operate in a high earthquake-prone zone classified as Seismic Zone 4.

The hospital campus features a 500-bed hospital building constructed as a ground plus eight-story (G+8) structure, covering an area of 250,000 square feet. To address the challenges posed by low safe bearing capacity (SBC), a raft foundation has been adopted for the hospital building. In addition to the main hospital structure, the campus includes essential support facilities such as a nurse hostel, a resident hostel for postgraduate students, an electrical substation (ESS), a sewage treatment plant (STP), an effluent treatment plant (ETP), and a biomedical waste room.

The college campus consists of an academic building designed as a ground plus six-story (G+6) structure with a total area of 230,000 square feet. This building is also divided into sections with expansion joints to accommodate structural movements. The campus includes separate hostels for boys and girls, both constructed as ground plus four-story (G+4) buildings, covering a combined area of 140,000 square feet. Additionally, the residential block features various configurations for staff residences ranging from ground plus two (G+2) to ground plus nine (G+9), encompassing a total area of 105,000 square feet. A multipurpose hall with dimensions of 35 meters by 25 meters is included in the design, along with an interns’ hostel and various types of staff residences.

Our firm has provided comprehensive structural services for this project, ensuring that all design elements meet safety standards while optimizing functionality and efficiency. The establishment of this medical college and district hospital represents a significant advancement in healthcare infrastructure in Kushinagar, enhancing access to medical education and services in the region.
