PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The building is composed from modern building materials. The circulation areas are celebrated with clear glass. The tunnel connecting the new building to the old is a metal tube with slits that create a rythym of light as you walk along. Another level of research investigated how to provide additional teatments and reduce waiting times. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Key facts are:- 185,000 patients per annum 9,500 sq m over two operational floors 6 years from inception to opening including all bidding stages 1,000 NHS staff on secondment from QMC Saving features to achieve energy targets of N55 gj/100cu m/annum TAGS: Hospital,, Architecture, Sustainability, Hospital Design, NHS, Treatment Centre RESEARCH ABSTRACT: It is now becoming better accepted that natural light can play an important role in speeding up the recovery of patients. The decision was taken to maximise the access to natural light for all patients in the hospital; not an easy thing in a building with such a large footprint. CHALLENGE: The site was an old established hospital campus. The new building had to fit within the overall precinct, but also be a distinct element. Public art was an integral part of the brief. ONE20 established separate Art and Landscape budgets. This ensured that these elements were not lost during construction. The art was procured through design competition. The planning of the building was integral to ensuring a more efficient healthcare process. The design of treatment areas meant waiting times have been reduced and more patients have been seen than in a traditionally planned hospital.
