Wood is widely used in schools, kindergartens, and elderly care homes as building material. It is environmental-friendly material that supports user comfort and well-being. Wood is also used in healthcare buildings, but its use is more constricted due to the spatial requirements to material durability and cleanliness. More information is needed about the properties and suitability of wood in healthcare setting to increase its usage. The Measurement Technology Unit of the University of Oulu led the European Wood for Health project, which promotes the use of wood by preparing guidelines for the use of wood in healthcare buildings, developing new antimicrobial coatings, studying microbes found on the surfaces in hospital, and by comparing Nordic hospital construction regulations regarding the use of wood. The seminar is the national closing seminar of the Wood for Health project.
