Eastwood Health & Care Centre secures planning
November 7 2013
Designed by Gareth Hoskins Architects the project will provide a suite of GP, clinical and social care facilities, replacing a number of existing buildings which are no longer fit for purpose.
The three storey building is set back from the street amidst surface parking lots with public consultation and treatment areas located on the ground floor and staff spaces above.
Arranged around twin courtyard spaces, the scheme is designed to maximise natural daylight and ventilation throughout the 6,000sq/m building.
The move clears the way for Morgan Sindall to commence construction on the new facility in the spring for completion by early 2015.
ground floor treatment and consultation spaces will look out onto landscaped gardens
Internal spaces are arranged around twin, triple height atrium volumes
Residents voiced concerns about the height and scale of the project during consultations
