INTRODUCTION
King's College Hospital, London
Nightingale Associates have established a major international reputation, particularly in the fields of healthcare, education and science. The practice was established in 1989 and has expanded steadily since then. Our aim is to be recognised as the top international healthcare, education and science practice by keeping well in the forefront of developments in patient care, learning environments and scientific breakthroughs worldwide. A recent World Architecture survey ranked us first in Europe in terms of numbers of architects specialising in health, science and education. Nightingale Associates operates from eleven UK centres and Cape Town, with a total of 300 staff in our Harwell - Oxfordshire, London, Brighton, Cardiff, Rochdale, Exeter, Liverpool, Blackburn, Dartford, Bristol and Leeds offices. Our expertise embraces strategic planning in support of SOC’s for Clients and PFI’s for contractors as well as the detailed design of buildings large and small. We have wide experience of Development Control Plans and Site Rationalisation studies. Many of these are in support of Outline and Full Business Case submissions and sometimes they will form the Public Sector Comparator in a PFI. Our project portfolio not only includes multi-million pound commissions, but also small clinics and individual departments. These may be new build or refurbishment, where we have had notable successes in phasing contracts to keep buildings fully operational. All our projects are designed to high standards and within tight cost and programme schedules. Nightingale Associates are part of the Tribal Group of Companies which provides a wide range of consulting services to the UK Public sector and Private clients.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE Nightingale Associates provide a fully integrated architectural service, including interior design and landscape architecture. We generally act as lead consultant of the design team, taking the responsibility of co-ordinating the services of the design team on behalf of the client. Our key goals are to provide high quality architecture that is delivered within the agreed budget and programme. The PFI has been a key factor in the UK Government’s strategy for modern hospitals. We have deliberately sought commissions covering all aspects of PFI: our main role is lead designer on consortia. We also act as Advisors to NHS Trusts, and members of “due diligence” teams for financing. This strategy has given us an unusually broad-based and deep experience in this form of hospital procurement. Our key contributions to the process are design innovation and technical competence. We have a long-established reputation in the areas of site rationalisation and development control planning. Building on this, we have extended the practice’s expertise to include a range of related services, both in-house and Consultancy, to suit each client’s particular requirements.

INTERIOR DESIGN
King's College Hospital, London
In keeping with our holistic approach to healthcare architecture and planning, we believe that attractive surroundings in which patients feel comfortable and at home can help reduce stress and shorten their stay in hospital. For this reason, a specialist interior design team within the practice works closely with our architects to enhance patient, staff and visitor environments. A high value is placed on colour, lighting, materials and art. By integrating interior design as early as possible into the development process we have been able to arrive at exciting creative solutions, achieving high quality, individually tailored results within an economic framework. This is particularly evident in wayfinding. The Interior team is developing comprehensive strategies for NHS Hospital Trusts. Colour can be used as a guidance tool, symbols and features can take their identity from a strong element of the building fabric. Clear effective and innovatory graphics and colour coding are used to aid orientation. The team has also been involved in groundbreaking research with leading manufacturers and suppliers to introduce new product ranges and new colours to supplement the traditional hospital palette. In addition, the needs of disabled patients and visitors, including the visually impaired, are being given special consideration, so that interiors comply with the provisions of the new Disability Discrimination Act. The practice has its own comprehensive and well-resourced interior design library and database. The team have wide experience in health related and retail design: Georgia Burt has an honours degree in Architecture, and Diplomas in Architectural Design and Built Resource Studies. She is also a member of the Chartered Society of Designers.

QA & PI INSURANCE
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We aim to maintain the highest standards for our clients. A key component in our drive for quality is to ensure that all projects, while being designed, benefit from past expertise and the best current standards. We have therefore set up a Research & Development Unit, which concentrates on this highly important aspect of our operation. We have a Director dedicated to producing user-friendly practice guidelines for the key building elements and design considerations. For example, we now have our own comprehensive guidance on the design of internal hospital partitions. We have Practice Guidance for acoustics energy, environmental and disabled design and these are available upon request. We are also doing research and producing guidance on Laboratory and Sense Sensitive Design. By building in systematic mechanisms for capitalising on past successes and avoiding known pitfalls, we are able to give clients an enhanced service, while our architects have more time to refine their project designs. We aim to be at the cutting edge of current thinking and where possible helping to form the edge. As examples we have been members of 2 steering groups at the Building Research Establishment Centre for Sustainable Construction helping to develop: A sustainable checklist for development NHS Environmental Assessment Tool NEAT. And we recently set up and held an NHS Workshop to discuss with the NHS ways of Modernising their Design Guidance. Research and Development Director: David Rowley

COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN
Peterborough Hospital PFI
Nightingale Associates have consistently invested in leading edge technology. The practice has employed computer aided design since inception, enhancing our ability to respond to our clients’ needs with accuracy and speed. We use the world-beating Microstation software for both 2D and 3D techniques in all areas of our healthcare work. The flexibility of Microstation’s unique Reference File System allows us to harness the power of CAD to all types of project, large and small, new build and refurbishment. The practice has more than 280 networked work stations in its Harwell, London, Brighton, Cardiff, Rochdale, Exeter, Cape Town, Liverpool, Blackburn, Bristol, Dartford and Leeds Offices and we are committed to increasing this resource in line with demand.

Peninsula Medical School, Plymouth
3-D MODELLING
We are developing a growing capability to design in 3-D on the computer in parallel to our 2-D work. This allows for very early visualisations of spaces, as a direct design tool, which can also be used to give clients an early view of the spaces being designed on their behalf. The practice can generate still or animated video presentation material from 3D models: a vital benefit to clients or planning authorities who can see realistic visualisations of proposed developments.
■ INTEGRATED SYSTEMS
Coventry New Hospital Clinical Sciences Building
We believe that technology is a tool for achieving better designed and better managed projects. We have introduced systematic and co-ordinated procedures across the practice, including the National Building Specifications’ “Specification Manager” which, combined with our existing database, will provide a body of information which few architectural practices can match.
