A project at the rehabilitation centre, known as Spark, aims at creating a local public meeting space for everybody, including the well-functioning.

In 1901, the inhabitants of Ny Munkegades contacted the city council, concerned about the hospital and the possibility of contagious and infectious diseases.

When the hospital was finished, it had homes for two attending physicians for the two departments, one for diphtheria and scarlet fever and the other for skin and venereal diseases.

The departments was gradually transferred to Skejby Sygehus and in 1992, Marselisborg Hospital ceased to operate as an independent institution.

The overall floor plan was drawn by the architect Ludvig Petersen and was intended to make it easier to control infectious diseases by separating patients as much as possible.

It was considered important that patients were given green spaces and fresh air as part of the treatment process and the park was established with that goal in mind.
