National Taiwan University Hospital is building a state-of-the-art employee dormitory for staff, right in the heart of Taipei. The dorm costs NT$2.6 billion to build, and is expected to be operational by 2028. At the project’s groundbreaking ceremony, hospital administrators said the complex will improve employees’ quality of life. Parents will be able to take advantage of an onsite preschool and daycare, so that they can focus fully on their jobs.

Wielding golden shovels, National Taiwan University President Chen Wen-chang and other administrators break ground on new staff dormitory.

To improve employee welfare, NTU Hospital is building a new dormitory on Ren’ai Road, inside the Bo’ai Special Zone in Taipei.

Of course, I’d like to thank NTU Hospital’s former superintendents for their foresight.
This land used to belong to the National Property Administration. We expect construction to wrap up and the building to open in 2028.

The building, which will cost NT$2.6 billion, will have three underground levels and 15 above-ground floors. It will provide 732 beds for medical staff on rotating shifts, in single rooms, double rooms and studio apartments. The building will also have an exercise facility. Taipei health chief Chen Yen-yuan, formerly a doctor at NTU Hospital, says the dormitory will help with employee retention.

Dormitory living is not what it used to be – the wellbeing of employees is now a top priority. As we all know, the building will be on Ren’ai Road, where every inch of land is precious.

There are a lot of young workers at NTU Hospital, and we’d like to encourage them to have children. So the building will have a preschool and a daycare so that their families are well tended to.

NTU Hospital says it hopes to provide young medical professionals with a quality home, so that they can focus on their careers while enjoying life in a prime urban location.
