The organic idiom designed by Partanen & Lamusuo Ltd for the entrance hall area of the Kuopio University Hospital continues from the interiors to the yard areas of the hospital. The environment imitates the forms of the interiors, found in our inner world, in the tortuous veins and the round lines of the cells, and so combines the entire hospital area into one large whole. The basis of the yard plan has been the "hospital of the future", in which the spaces support and promote our health and well-being.

Nature and natural light are brought near the employees, the patients and the visitors, as it is easy to go out both to the terrace, the patio and elsewhere in the hospital surroundings. Cellular plant pools give rhythm to the yard: display of flower colours from spring to autumn and trees and bushes. There will be a sheltered playground for children in front of the sampling spaces. The yard planning continues to the inner garden, to which the main entrance area restaurant and its terrace open.
