Leishenshan Hospital

Wuhan 1,500 beds

Leishenshan Hospital , the second makeshift hospital to be built in Wuhan , adopted the modular design that divided the whole hospital into individual prefabricated units . In fact , both Wuhan facilities were modelled on the Xiaotangshan hospital in Beijing , which was built from prefab structures in barely a week to treat patients infected by SARS in 2003 . With a capacity of up to 1,500 beds , Leishenshan swung into action early February and closed mid-April . It took a team of 15,000 workers two weeks to build .
