Notable Healthcare projects include:
ROYAL ALEXANDRA CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL, Brighton
£50M
Kajima
BDP
Prime Minister’s award for Best Public building 2008. Civic Trust Award 2009, The Prime Minister's Better Public Building Award 2008, Design and Health Academy Award (Healthcare Design Project Award) 2007, Building Better Healthcare Award (Highly Commended — Best Designed Hospital and Winner, Best Client Team) 2007, Health Business Award (Hospital Building Award) 2007
Project Director, also responsible for the design of the fire strategy and leading negotiations with interested parties. A key component of the design is the central atrium, which binds all levels; delivering natural light and acting as a social hub. The objective of the fire strategy was to enable the architectural and operational ambitions for the hospital (which were significantly different from the standard FIRECODE solutions) and achieve best value for money. Furthermore, the construction of the hospital on a tight site required careful consideration to ensure the safety of the existing, operational, buildings. The RACH has been independently cited at international healthcare conferences as an exemplar hospital where fire-engineering has been best used in hospital design.
Stobhill ACAD, Stobhill
£100M
BBCL
Reiach & Hall
BBH Awards 2009 - UK's 'Best Designed Hospital' 2009, Roses Design Awards - 'Best Public Building' and best of the best Architecture Grand Prix award
Project Director, also responsible for the design of the fire strategy and leading negotiations with interested parties. The key benefits of the fire strategy included:
- Designed the atrium space to minimise the amount of fire rated glazing required, reducing it to toughened glazing where possible;
- Increased compartment sizes based on risk and occupant characteristics;
- Reduced stair numbers compared with the SHTM requirements and guidance for fire-fighting facilities.
Peterborough Acute, CCC, & MHU
£300M
Brookfield
Nightingale Associates
Project Director for the three facilities, also responsible for the design of the fire strategy and leading negotiations with interested parties. The key benefits of the fire strategy included the natural-ventilation based design of the atria, structural fire engineering, engineering-based radiation calculations to justify omission of fire-rated glazing, bespoke evacuation strategy and firefighting strategy to justify omission of 5 stairs compared with the HTM81 guidance provision.
Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford
£200M
Bouygues
Llewelyn Davies Yeang
Project Director, also responsible for the design of the fire strategy and leading negotiations with interested parties. The key benefits of the fire strategy included:
- The design of the central atrium space that links to the existing hospital is separated from adjacent clinical departments by non-fire rated, toughened glazing
- A bespoke fire safety provisions/fire-fighting measures developed for the inclusion of a roof-top heli-pad.
Northern Batched Hospitals: Manchester
£300M
BBCL
HKS & Keppie Design
Project Director for the four facilities, also responsible for the design of the fire strategy and leading negotiations with interested parties. The northern batched project comprises a new acute hospital and education block at Salford hospital, and a new DTC & EMI at Tameside hospital. Significant benefits were achieved by the fire engineered approach, including: atrium fire strategy enabling use of non-fir-insulated glazing to facade & natural smoke ventilation, assessments of performance of existing connected buildings. Reduction of number of stairs, rationalisation of dampers – e.g. enabling continuing operation of aseptic suites, fire-engineered assessments and specifications of systems to minimise the need for sprinklers. Phased decant and construction on a live site.
Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy
£200M
BBCL
BDP
Project Director, also responsible for the design of the fire strategy and leading negotiations with interested parties. Victoria Hospital is a new 8 storey acute hospital. Key benefits of the fire-engineered approach included: fire-engineered design to enable the ward layout desired by the Trust, rationalisation of sprinklers (a partially-sprinklered option was preferred by the Trust) and fire dampers, Structural Fire Engineering that justified omission of fire protection from a significant number of beams, assessments of performance of existing site and interface with connected building.
Forth Valley Acute Hospital, Larbert, Scotland
£300M
Laing O’Rourke
Keppie Design
Project Director for the three facilities, also responsible for the design of the fire strategy and leading negotiations with interested parties. The new acute hospital will have approximately 860 inpatient and day beds, and includes a MHU. Key benefits of the fire-engineering included: Non-sprinklered design, which led to revised guidance from NHS Scotland (CEL 25 2008) supporting principle that hospitals do not require sprinklers if appropriately designed, atrium fire strategy enabling use of toughened glazing to facade & natural smoke ventilation (which was independently validated by Strathclyde University), rationalisation of smoke vs fusible-link dampers, general benefits from fire engineering, enabling timber construction (MHU). Addressed the proposals for phased decant and construction.
