This redeveloped Community Hospital has been designed as a landmark for the community it serves, as part of an overall strategy to transform the health delivery service in this area
Project Details
Collective Team
The project was integral to the overall strategy of transforming the health delivery system for Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Trust and Mansfield District Primary Care Trust as part of a larger PFI.
A key factor in the position of the building is to provide ease of access for both pedestrians and vehicles, integrating seamlessly into the surrounding community.
The new main entrance building acts as the new centre for the whole of the facility and contains a cafe, patient information centre and administration centre.
Extensive renovation of the existing wards within the hospital fully integrates the interior environment, and wayfinding and access to all departments is now clear from the new entrance and the geometry emphasises the building’s important role as a hub between hospital and community.
At completion, the project was awarded a BRE NEAT ‘Excellent’ rating - the NHS Environmental Assessment Tool developed by the Building Research Establishment for the NHS Estates, and Highly Commended in the RIBA East Midlands Awards for Architecture
