Oriel Drive Health Centre

PROJECT: Healthcare Centre

SUMMARY: Our involvement commenced with design studies/option appraisals for either a radical refurbishment of an existing health centre/GP practice surgery or a newbuild alternative. The latter was eventually preferred as the more cost-effective solution to the need for greatly improved local GP facilities and we were appointed to develop the selected option. Working closely with doctors, support staff and patients, we designed an extremely energy efficient (BREEAM Excellent), high quality health centre with a very contemporary style, but still retained the footprint of the original building, as required by the Local Planning Authority.

SERVICES: Full architectural services from inception through planning consent to the preparation of all construction drawings for the Constructor, Galliford Try, working in partnership with LSHP.

Pre-planning services included the initial design and option appraisals for the alternatives of a refurbishment or new build solution. Extensive consultation with a range of stakeholders/partners was another key aspect of our service.
