​The new hospital wing for children, adolescents and pregnant women at Rigshospitalet, BørneRiget, will have a distinctive characteristic; a building shaped as two hands gathering all children, adolescents and women in labour under one roof while taking care of the whole family.

In the summer of 2017, Ole Kirk’s Foundation, Rigshospitalet and the Capital Region of Denmark met to explore the opportunities of play into the treatment of ill children and adolescents.

​In November 2016 the project team behind the new Children's Hospital Copenhagen, "BørneRiget", held a workshop on how to create the best possible arrival and greeting at the hospital in the future.

​The development of the new children's wing at Rigshospitalet has started long before the construction site is established. As an experiment, the project organisation chose to involve two users in their hiring of a new innovation consultant, to ensure that the users have as much influence as possible.

​Rigshospitalet has examined all the received applications for pre-qualification. Six teams are invited to place a bid. The final winner will be selected during August 2017.
