This building is located on the plot of the John Paul II Specialist Hospital at 23 Prądnicka St. in Kraków, designed in its northern – central part.

The five-storey Hospital consists of two joined L-shaped bodies (including the cellar part). The southern wing adjoins the modernized old part of the cardiac surgery building. The northern wing extends parallely along the new cardiac surgery building and reaches the existing boiler room.

The objective of the extension is to create the Rescue Centre on the grounds of the existing John Paul II Specialist Hospital, complement its structure and add two operating rooms, including a hybrid one, to the existing operating track.

The Central Outpatient Clinic and the Central Chemist's Shop with storerooms for the entire hospital were designed, too.

The object is divided into the following basic functions:

• the chemist's rooms,
• bedrooms for the ill,
• specialist rooms (laboratories, computer studios, examination rooms – diagnostics),
• operating rooms – social and technical facilities.
