The Marburg Ion-Beam Therapy Centre (MIT) is an outpatient facility treating oncological diseases by 3D proton and heavy ion irradiation. The cutting-edge radiation technology destroys the tumour cells precisely while leaving the healthy tissue unmarred.
With four irradiation rooms and ten immobilisation rooms, the centre provides spaces for the treatment of up to 2000 patients per year, completed by offices for administration and diagnosis as well as a small research space. An integral, resource-saving energy concept makes use of the considerable output of process heat and cold as well as of the heat most efficiently reclaimed from the exhaust air, for the heating and hot-water supply of the hospital, as well as for the cooling of the examination rooms and the offices, which also benefit from night cooling.
