Social Infrastructure

Social Infrastructure

An understanding of people, context, place and purpose is essential in creating thriving communities where people can interact effectively.

Whether designing a school, a healthcare facility or a mixed-use development, we create buildings and places that inspire and enrich the quality of life for the people that use them.

BUILDING COMMUNITIES Social infrastructure is the glue that binds communities together.

Good quality schools, colleges, GPs surgeries, community centres, shops, leisure and cultural facilities are all vital amenities that support and create vibrant communities. Equally important is attractive public realm and infrastructure that provides the connectivity to unlock the potential of towns and cities, and ensure economic and social sustainability.

At ADP we have experience of delivering all of these amenities independently, and as part of mixeduse developments.

In the education sector we have delivered enriched learning environments for every step of the student journey, from nursery to university.

Whether designing GP surgeries or cancer support centres, our community healthcare projects focus on the patient experience, and in providing holistic care.

Partnerships between local authorities and universities has

enabled us to deliver affordable development, transforming how councils deliver services.

Passionate about our architectural heritage, we have given much loved historic buildings and places a sustainable ongoing use through regeneration and mixed-use development.

On many of our schemes green infrastructure and landscaping not only creates an attractive public realm, but also encourages a healthy lifestyle, reducing pollution and enhancing biodiversity.

Underpinning the successful delivery of these projects is our ability to listen and engage with our clients and local communities. In doing so we aim to deliver schemes that create a sense of place and are more meaningful and more responsive to everyone’s needs.

We are people inspired.

We design every type of space that supports the creation of thriving communities including strategic masterplans, architecture, interior design and landscape.

Mixed-use Community

To revitalise and make places and districts more attractive and vibrant we put people at the heart of the design process. Creating solutions that are inspired by people’s needs and desires is essential, as they will shape a place’s future and determine whether it thrives.

Many sites also have a rich and distinct heritage, often with stringent planning requirements.

Understanding this context together with a client’s commercial objectives is essential in building communities and delivering value.

From community centres and mixed-use developments, through to the urban regeneration schemes,

we have delivered a number of projects that bring social cohesion to new communities on the edge of established settlements.

Many of these projects have been enabled by partnerships between local authorities, housing associations, and independent organisations and trusts.

Delivering quality is a collective effort. By regularly consulting with multiple stakeholders and local communities, we work hard to unlock a site’s potential, and provide distinctive buildings and places that enrich the quality of life for the people that use them.

Consultations with a cross-section of local stakeholders ensured that Clay Farm Community centre was cleverly designed to accommodate different functions, and cater for multiple building users with different needs.

CLAY FARM COMMUNITY CENTRE Clay Farm Community Centre on the edge of Cambridge is designed to provide community facilities for the new residents of the Southern Fringe development and the established community of Trumpington village.

Enabled by a partnership between Cambridge City Council, Cambridgeshire County Council, Cambridgeshire Police, and the Bedford Pilgrims Housing association, the scheme includes affordable flats for key workers, a community centre and cafĂŠ, a public library, a doctors surgery and accommodation for the police and social services.

Giving people a real say in the design of their building is essential. Regular consultations were held with the new residents and the established community to provide a building that catered for all of their needs.

Image: Clay Farm Community Centre

Located at the heart of a new landscaped square, the building has a double frontage and entrances on all

elevations to embrace the community from every angle. The main axis through the building follows the line of an ancient bronze-age ditch that runs through the site.

The building will support an environmentally and socially sustainable lifestyle through a passive design approach, green infrastructure, low-carbon transport and sustainable drainage and ecology.

Flexibility and simplicity are central to the design enabling multiple building users, to understand and operate the building as effectively as possible, resulting in minimal material waste and energy use.

Flats on the upper stories are arranged with recessed balconies and vertical fins to provide shade to the southeast elevation, reducing solar gains. The northwest elevation has projecting balconies with angled glazed elements to capture the rare occurrence of late afternoon summer sun.

Rosehill Community Centre has had a far reaching and positive impact on integrating a previously culturally segregated and disparate community.

Dubbed “inspirational” by residents, the centre welcomed 1,333 visitors in its inaugural month increasing by 946% in the first six months.

Rose Hill Community Cente The Rose Hill Community Centre is the result of an inspiring collaboration between the local community and the Oxford City Council, united in delivering residents’ needs. Extensive consultation with local residents and key stakeholders identified the need to provide a building that encourages greater community usage and generates additional sources of income.

Rose Hill is in the top 20% of the most deprived areas in the country, and the previous community centre only served a small minority of residents.

ADP’s brief was to provide a safe, secure, and modern environment to deliver services to the whole community.

The new centre provides a large hall with commercial teaching kitchen, social club, cafe, healthcare facility, sports changing facilities, advice

centre, youth room and gym. There are also rooms available for hire. The colour palette for the building was developed as part of an art project with local children.This has created a common identity, and is an integral part of the wayfinding strategy.

With life expectancy lower in Rose Hill than more affluent areas of Oxford, residents are offered preferential rates for the gym. The training kitchen also runs classes to teach basic catering skills, as many using the local food bank operating from the community centre require lessons on how to cook the items collected.

Shortlisted in the 2017 RICS Awards in the Community Benefit category, the Rose Hill Community Centre has made a very positive impact on integrating what was a culturally segregated and disparate community.

This 3.4 acre site will provide much needed sheltered housing and a mixed-use commercial development.

CUSTOMS ROUNDABOUT Caledon Property Group commissioned ADP to submit a planning application for a mixed use development to the north of Stirling city centre.

The 3.4 acre development will include much needed sheltered housing by McCarthy and Stone, and a parade of commercial units.

The preferred options for the units include a convenience store, a first floor gymnasium and two drive-thru restaurants with shared car parking.

ADP’s designs maximise the development capacity of this sensitive gateway site, while responding to current end user demand. Designed to be adaptable, the buildings are arranged around compact car parking and generous pedestrian friendly public realm and landscape areas.

The uses proposed complement facilities offered in Stirling city centre,

and will benefit from increased footfall between the city and the regeneration area of Rapploch.

The site benefits from an established landscape setting, which will be improved with better defined pedestrian and cycle routes, and additional hard and soft landscaping Existing, under-utilised tarmac areas will be brought into play as local amenity spaces.

Working closely with Caledon and its development partners, ADP has led discussions with Stirling Council throughout this major planning application. Consultations with local community representatives through a public consultation process, will ensure that the development provides real community benefits in terms of access and amenity, while meeting commercial imperatives by appealing to potential end users.

Village-like developments blend the best of country living with the benefits of a modern lifestyle Heyford Park In Oxfordshire ADP is working with Dorchester Living to transform a former military site into a new mixeduse village centre that will create a vibrant community hub for existing and new residents.

Set within 1, 231 acres of Oxfordshire countryside, RAF Heyford played a pivotal role throughout military history.

Built in 1916, it provided facilities for training air crews in the First and Second World Wars, and later served as a base for the United States Airforce during the Cold War. This heritage is reflected in the distinctive architecture on the site, which has influenced the design code for the new development.

ADP is responsible for developing the main buildings that create the Village Centre at the heart of the settlement area, which will provide amenities for over 1000 new and existing residents.

Village Centre North consists of accommodation arranged along the wide and tree lined Camp Road, which is the main east-west axis route through the site. The blocks will provide commercial and residential accommodation, with a mixture of shared ownership and affordable housing, a food store, and retail space.

A steel framed glazed market and cricket pitch in the Village Square will provide the opportunity for community participation and gatherings. ADP is also delivering Village Centre South, which will provide a hotel, a pub, bars, a restaurant, a bowling alley, private function rooms, a gym suite, and 12 boutique hotel rooms.

The regeneration framework has combined the best of the past with sensitive new development. ADP also converted the iconic red-brick Officer’s Mess into a free school, and an old military gymnasium into a sports centre.

From the outset our client was keen to develop a long term legacy for the site, with a commitment to continued investment in the social and physical infrastructure. Designing a solution that created a sense of place and provided amenities for the whole community was essential in ensuring long-term economic sustainability.

Equally important was embracing the historic significance of the site to preserve the cultural memories of the generations of people who decided to settle there after the base closed.

Community Healthcare

Primary healthcare services are the first point of contact for most people. Facilities must be welcoming, and flexible enough to cater for a variety of uses required by the local community.

Growing demand for services and tighter financial constraints means that procurement of built facilities must be agile.

We have developed a series of community healthcare facilities and wellbeing centres using a number of innovative procurement and development routes, from selffunded GP surgeries, to projects enabled by LIFT and third party developers.

The facilities we have designed include integrated primary care centres housing several GP surgeries single doctor’s practices, and cancer support centres.

Anchoring the development in the heart of the community, both physically and socially is key to our approach, whatever the scale.

Interior design, art and wayfinding are key to creating welcoming facilities that enable activity and promote wellbeing. Equally important, is intelligent flexible design that responds to the local environment and the needs of building users.

We have also delivered facilities that integrate a number of community uses, such as a public library, police facilities, community facilities, key worker and affordable accommodation. This approach transforms how local authorities deliver services and is financially sustainable.

Our knowledge and experience can help us advise our clients of the best development routes for their project, so that maximum value is achieved.

“The building is much more than a medical centre – it has meeting rooms, an educational room and space for future health service developments.”

The devereux centre This super-surgery in Tewksbury not only brings two GP practices together under one roof, but also provides lettable consulting rooms for specialist medical practitioners, and meeting and conference facilities for local businesses to rent.

Located next to the new Tewkesbury Community Hospital, and within walking distance of the town centre, the multipurpose facility has given the GP twice as much space as their former premises, which were previously located on different sites.

Quote: Dr Shyamapant, quoted in Southwest Business, September 2016 Image: The Devereux Centre

Consulting rooms and general medical space for each practice is arranged over two floors. The building

also provides a ground floor pharmacy with its own street frontage, and a minor operations suite. A central internal courtyard brings natural light deep into the interior, enhancing wellbeing for both patients and staff.

The conference and meeting facilities are located on the second floor together with a staff room that looks out towards Tewksbury Abbey.

Tewksbury’s geographical location on a flood plain determined the location of the building, which is positioned on a higher level. The car park doubles as an attenuation tank, and soft landscaped areas have swales, which are designed to flood.

“ADP understands the needs of people with cancer, and a succession of increasingly excellent buildings has raised the profile of specialist palliative care facilities in the NHS.” The Cove, MACMILLAN Support Centre Macmillan wanted to bring the invaluable services they offer to the people of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly with a new cancer support and information centre.

Located at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro, the new building provides a friendly, relaxed, and non-clinical environment with an information area, café, meeting spaces, rooms for support groups, counselling and complementary therapies.

The architecture, interior and landscape design has been inspired by the Cornish coastline, giving the centre a coherent identity.

The building is a simple yet elegant structure that evokes vernacular wooden coastal buildings. The coastal theme is continued inside on floor finishes, colours and joinery, suggestive of boatbuilding techniques, and paintings depicting the Cornish coastline. ADP worked closely with consultants Willis Newson to develop the arts strategy that was informed and inspired by consultation with centre staff and patients.

Around the perimeter of the building are four linked ‘outdoor rooms’ that are designed to provide a variety of therapeutic gardens that enhance wellbeing, and provide privacy and refuge. Landscaping also aids wayfinding, linking the centre to the existing hospital, with planting helping to screen the building from the car park and main road.

Species of local and native origin have been used to enhance the bio-diversity of the site, and make patients and visitors to feel more comfortable in their surroundings.

The end result of this close teamwork and careful consultation, is a new support centre that offers visitors a welcoming, supportive and healing environment, where they don’t have to face cancer alone.

The centre has just been Highly Commended in the 2017 RICS Awards, in the Community Benefit category, the European Healthcare Awards, and the Civic Trust awards.

“The new school brings together the whole community in Cringleford and is a fantastic space for learning and teaching.“

CRINGLEFORD PRIMARY SCHOOL Cringleford CE VA Primary School aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice.

ADP was commissioned to design the new 420 place school to serve the needs of the existing church community and residents of a new housing development.

The design consists of a curved circulation spine with three teaching wings projecting out and on to the landscape behind. The curved timber cladding to the front of the building provides a welcoming invitation to pupils and the local community.

Each wing accommodates one Key Stage. The pupils will move through these wings as they progress through their school life. The wings consist of a cluster of classrooms adjoining flexible circulation zones used

as informal teaching spaces and resource areas. The position of these clusters behind the central spine provides a secure line between the community and classroom and play areas, enabling areas of the building to be zoned off when in use out of school hours.

A key concept was the flow of the internal learning spaces to the outdoor spaces with each classroom leading out to teaching gardens within the rear landscape.

The new school also provides excellent facilities for the wider local community, which includes an adult learning centre and use of the halls.

ADP’s landscape team designed an educational and interactive outdoor area that includes a large playground, grass pitches, allotments, an amphitheatre and a trim trail, together with a sensory garden and willow tunnel.

The Islamic Boys’ School in Birmingham is designed for 700 pupils, which includes a 200 pupil sixth form, a four-court sports hall, MUGA and associated external landscaping and car parking.

Externally, the building is finished in white render and a blue brick, which articulates the entrance and school hall. The external materials are in keeping with the three adjacent Grade II listed gatehouse buildings, due to be refurbished in the next phase of work.

The ‘super-block’ layout of the plan is centred around a triple-height atrium space which brings natural light into the heart of the building. The atrium space includes feature walls and coloured acoustic wall panels, which follow the school’s brand colours.

The Jubilee Centre, Barking and Dagenham College This building at Barking and Dagenham College provides central workshop teaching accommodation for the college’s construction skills courses.

The college teaches the whole range of construction skills and needed to increase the provision for the growing demand they were experiencing. The high quality workshops are the best in the region and have been designed

to attract more students and allow for future growth.

The building has a functional purpose, with the focus being two large workshops for teaching bricklaying, plastering and plumbing. Designed to hint at the purpose within, it also fits contextually with the existing 1960s and 1970s buildings on the estate, whilst displaying a twenty-first century face to the public and students.

Public Realm and Infrastructure

Well-designed public realm knits places together, enhancing connectivity, and providing areas for recreation and relaxation. Attractive public realm and green infrastructure that encourages social interaction and an active lifestyle, is also better for our mental and physical health.

It also enhances biodiversity and reduces pollution, which is better for the planet and society as a whole.

Our design is intimately connected to setting and context, and as such, we view landscape design as an essential and integral element to our architectural work. Our dedicated landscape team get involved at the inception of a project to ensure that we are making the best use of space.

We consider the whole environment, not just the building. Good landscape design can also reinforce an area’s unique character and identity.

Our team uses clever landscaping to signal entrances and create spaces that provide an enjoyable experience with opportunities for new activities.

Landscaping tangibly connects people to the outside, with the potential to affect how people feel and interact.

Infrastructure design is also an important part of our public realm.

From large masterplanning schemes, to projects such as walkways, bridges and stations, we have delivered a number of infrastructure schemes that have unlocked potential in towns and cities to enable economic growth.

“The scheme is imaginative, but extremely functional with an enduring design, which should benefit student and the local community into the next millennium” Jubilee Quad ADP’s landscape team turned an unloved car park into a lively gathering place that connects the University of Liverpool’s key public spaces, and provides a new focus in the city’s ‘Knowledge Quarter’.

events that have occurred over these 60 years.

The planting was carefully chosen to provide cover throughout the seasons. Globe shapes complement the oval geometry of the quad, and the planting includes ‘regal’ blooms and the hardy Lavendula angustifolia ‘Elizabeth’. The trees selected make reference to the vertical elements of the space as well as the buildings, with the central ring of pleached trees set out in an unusual way in order to reflect the spires of the neighbouring Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King.

The scheme had to be robust enough to withstand footfall from the University community and the wider public. It also had to have the impact to be used for special occasions such as graduations, weddings and events.

people can interact with, and learn from, cultural assets in a fun and dynamic way. Displaying works in the right environmentally controlled conditions also protects priceless collections, and preserves them for the enjoyment of future generations.

Economically sustainable cultural attractions also contribute to a town or city’s economy by boosting visitor numbers and creating opportunities for employment.

Often these facilities are within or alongside listed buildings and sites.

We work hard to respect this heritage whilst helping to deliver vibrant new facilities that promote the arts and celebrate the UK’s rich cultural heritage.

Inspired by imaginative clients, we create environments where

The redevelopment of the Photographers’ Gallery in Soho enables it to host more exhibitions, talks and workshops, whilst displaying and protecting valuable historic collections for future generations

The Photographers’ Gallery, Soho Housed in a converted textile warehouse in London’s Soho, the Photographers’ Gallery was the first public gallery dedicated to photography in the UK. To this day it remains a leader in the presentation and exploration of photography in all its forms, and is instrumental in promoting the art forms’ pivotal and influential role in culture and society.

ADP was appointed to deliver the detailed design and construction phase of an extension and refurbishment to the gallery, to provide enhanced spaces for exhibitions and learning together with a new café and bookshop.

Two floors were added to the original building, doubling the size of the

original exhibition spaces, which are now located on levels four and five.

At street level, the building has been opened up to allow views into the café, enabling glimpses of a video wall that visually displays what’s on. An environmentally controlled black box space on level two allows the display of delicate historic photographs, from international archives and museum collections.

A dedicated education space for workshops and talks is provided on level three, together with a study room, and a studio that houses a bespoke Camera Obsura.

The basement was converted to create a cosy space for the bookshop and print sales.

“Seven Stories has become part of childhood for thousands of children from the North East and beyond, and has been successful beyond our hopes and dreams. ADP was completely engaged in our vision and its purpose, and provided dynamic yet realistic proposals, that enabled the programme to be delivered on time and to budget.”

Seven Stories Seven Stories is the National Centre for Children’s Books – the only place in Britain dedicated to saving, celebrating and sharing our rich literary heritage for children.

Located alongside the River Ouseburn in an area of cultural regeneration, the original conversion of the Grade II listed mill by ADP brought new life to this impressive Victorian structure, which in the last decade has contributed to the regeneration of the Ouseburn Valley. This has been recognised in over 14 awards for urban regeneration.

ADP kept the mill’s heritage value intact by retaining all of the original features and volumes, and housing new accommodation including the reception area, main circulation and storage, in a contemporary extension.

Quote: Kate Edwards, Chief Executive, Seven Stories.

The main staircase, which from the street outside resembles a piece of torn paper formed into a cylinder, is a major part of the Seven Stories experience, encouraging visitors to explore the building. Orientation from the staircase to the Centre’s two galleries is enhanced by large backlit signage, which is designed with a font to appeal to both adults and children.

Flexible spaces have been provided including an artist studio, education area, and ‘Story Station’ for the under4s book play. A bespoke education, meeting and training facility increases the financial resilience of the scheme.

In the Attic, performances and story times are made more magical through theatrical lighting, a Gobo projector and colourful, soft, flexible seating.

Over 80,000 people visit Seven Stories every year. The Centre also works with children and families from disadvantaged backgrounds through outreach and participation activities.

“All of the partners are immensely proud of The Forum Southend-on-Sea’s resounding success.

As well as being an attractive asset for the town and the local community, it has drawn visitors from around the world, keen to understand how this successful project works.”

The Forum, Southend-on-Sea The Forum is one of several major sustainable regeneration projects in Southend, and was jointly funded by Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, the University of Essex and South Essex College.

Constructed on a former public carpark, the building has regenerated a run-down part of the town, extending the public realm beyond the High Street, and providing a new and exciting community resource.

All aspects of the community benefit from shared use of the library, research and education facilities, including a 200-seat lecture theatre, teaching areas, seminar rooms, exhibition spaces and offices. The internationally-recognised Focal Point Gallery is the centrepiece of this active new arts venue.

Conceived against a backdrop of spending cuts, the unique collaboration by a local authority, a university and a further education college, has ensured that essential library and information services, as well as art, cultural and social facilities, are delivered with maximum efficiency by sharing accommodation and resources.This has provided outstanding value for money, as well as safeguarding services for the local community.

The landmark building is also a destination in its own right, helping to make Southend a better place to visit by regenerating a backland area and contributing to a wider plan to encourage tourism and leisure in the town.

Quote: Quoted in “Millions flock to The Forum”, southend.gov.uk (2016).
