Academic Hospital Psychiatric Clinic, House J1-J2. Photographed before demolition. The new psychiatric clinic at the Academic Hospital was commissioned at the end of 1946 after being planned for many years. Because of inter alia a shortage of labour and materials during the Second World War had been delayed. The house was built after drawings by architect Gustaf Birch-Lindgren. He was one of the most hired architects of new hospitals in Sweden and a real specialist in the field. Birch-Lindgren, as First Swedish Architect, had a Technology Ph.D. in 1934 on a thesis on Swedish Laser Buildings. The construction of the hospital during the 1930-40s was characterised by increased specialisation, which also made new demands on the architects. The psychiatric clinic is located in the southwestern part of the hospital area near the corner towards Dag Hammarskjöd road and the Hospital Road. The plane shape of the building can be similar to a T. The cross stroke in T-et is an elongated three-storey building in a north-south direction and the bar in T-et is a shorter two-storey building to the west. The T-shaped plan is typical of the new hospital buildings of the 1920-40s. The elongated building housed three storey care units and in a lower sut-off floor rooms for treatment and surgery, swimming and storage rooms. All floors were fitted with centre corridor. The shorter building in the east-west direction was housed in the sutterängplanet laboratory and staff room mm. In the ground floor there was a psychiatric reception. On the upper floor there were libraries and lecture rooms as well as work rooms. The two building bodies are connected by a common stairwell. The stairwell also houses the elevator and elevator machinery that postpones the roof of the other building parts. Building description Exterior The houses are erected with a base and a beam of reinforced concrete and brick walls. The Sugar Party is made of uncoated concrete. The facades are clad with yellow brick. All parts of the building are fitted with a saddle roof, originally covered with a two-compartment brick pans, subsequently exchanged for concrete pans. The house is provided with a clear main entrance, located on the north side of the two-storey section, which housed reception and lecture hall mm. The entrance is provided with a high granite stoneware staircase with stainless steel railings. The doors are glazed in dark brown aluminum profiles as well as the side and upper light inserts. The aluminium batches are not original. Above the doors it is POLICLINICAL with stainless steel letters. A wide, copper-clad concrete screen roof projecting over the entrance. In addition, there is an entrance to the stairwell at the angle between the two building parts. There are smaller entrances in the outer corners of the long narrow building body with care departments as well as in the middle of the western facade of the care departments. In connection with these smaller entrances there are also smaller stairwells and a lift. All entrance doors are made in brown colored aluminum. The windows are mostly exchanged in the 1980s or 90s. Original window joinery remains for the window openings of the sutterly floor and the windows of the stairwell. All windows are white painted. The north and south end of the care departments are provided with watering balconies with railings of forging and sinuated sheet metal. On the eastern side of the nursing building, its southern part, there is a low projecting party with walls of site-cast concrete and flat roof. In the extension there is a glass part. On the west side, in front of the stairwell with a lift there is a one-storey extension in yellow brick, as a kind of “firstu.” Interior The building as a whole is decorated with durable, sturdy materials. The original interior is also largely well preserved, as is the original floor plan. The two larger stairwells have floors of maroon limestone, the other stairwells have floors and stairs of gray cement mosaic. Corridors and rooms are mostly provided with linoleum mats. Fixed interior decoration in the form of doors, shelves and cabinets is largely dressed with pine veneer. Between corridors and stairwell halls there are glazed wall sections in
