History
The hospital was created as an administrative unit on 1 April 2011, when the two former university hospitals of Aarhus Sygehus and Skejby Sygehus were merged. Aarhus Sygehus was itself a merger from the four individual hospitals of Aarhus Municipal Hospital, Aarhus County Hospital, Marselisborg Hospital and Samsø Sygehus in 2007. These hospitals still exist as individual departments, so all in all Aarhus University Hospital comprise many individual buildings spread across the cityscape of Aarhus.
The 2011 merger was performed in preparation for the New University Hospital (DNU) to be situated in Skejby in the northern parts of Aarhus. The New University Hospital is currently under construction and will become the new headquarters for Aarhus University Hospital. The building project is the largest in Northern Europe (as of 2011) and when completed in 2019, it will become the biggest single hospital in Denmark and one of the biggest in Europe. The relocation of clinical and research departments will take place from 2014 to 2019 and the New University Hospital will be fully operational in 2020.
