The new health centre is based on the ground and first floor of a development for retired living constructed by Populo Living. The layout of the health centre focuses on patient, visitor and staff movements, being as efficient as possible and keeping wayfinding clear and concise and consistent. The scheme fulfils and exceeds the requirements of the NHS HBN’s and HTM’s, looking into the future and providing flexibility to spaces without significant intervention and utilises technology to allow HCSN to review ‘how’ the building is ‘performing’ from a sustainability, efficiency and optimisation point of view – resulting in the brief for future projects being tweaked and reviewed as required.

We worked closely with our client to develop the design with the aim of the scheme to relocate two existing GP Practices into a new, purpose-built health centre within the wider Hartley Avenue development. The Health Centre enables the practices to provide patient cantered care, in a modern environment, offering a wide range of health services to benefit the local community.
