In 2001, the H.-Hartziekenhuis Roeselare-Menen Hospital and the AZ Menen General Hospital merged into the H. -Hart Hospital Roeselare-Menen. Immediately the management decided to concentrate the scattered locations of the AZ Menen General Hospital in one campus. The existing hospital on the selected campus consists of contiguous buildings with different architectural styles and floor levels. Moreover, the current infrastructure is out of date and not suited to the demands of a modern hospital.

VK will provide this building complex with an extension, with among other things a radiology department, medical imaging unit, emergency admissions centre, intensive care facilities, operating room, nursing units and a day hospital. Moreover, the extension will combine all components in a fluid manner. Via internal shifts of services, it was also possible to plan reconditioning of certain areas. The final hospital will contain 175 hospital beds and 25 day hospital beds. The modernisation and expansion of the hospital will be carried out while the hospital operations continue. A very advanced phasing of the work will be necessary in order to achieve this.

A number of existing units have already been addressed in preparatory projects. The delivery room, for example, had to make way for an interim emergency admissions unit, and was moved to a new wing. An additional operating room had to accommodate the increased activity. The Kloosterpand, part of the monastery which centuries ago laid the foundation for the current hospital, will become a new wing with rehabilitation, haemodialysis, and administration departments and a pharmacy.
