St.
Mary’s Hospital
London, England
HOK’s award winning submission for the 1.1 million gross sq. ft. St. Mary’s Hospital in London creatively stacked the program to work within demanding environmental constraints to maintain daylight for adjacent buildings. Reconciling the needs of complex clinical functions within the context of dense city infrastructure can be a challenge. The team tested several healthcare implementation strategies across the chosen sites that would offer best clinical, environmental, commercial, community and planning value while still maintaining a functioning hospital. The process defined a robust building and infrastructure framework to meet the requirements of the SOA and site conditions. The stacking and blocking for each option explored aims to deliver optimal clinical patient care by integrating specialist services, improve patient experience by providing services in a stress-free environment and ensure staff can work effectively and safely.

Shanghai International Hospital

HOK designed the Shanghai International Hospital, WAN’s winning healthcare entry, as a private 893,000 sq.ft, 500-bed hospital serving the needs of the Chinese city’s rapidly growing affluent population.
The design makes allowances for current and future challenges facing the regional healthcare system, most importantly the “silver tsunami”—the forecasted wave of a growing elderly population. Other considerations influencing the design include the emerging complexity in the delivery of healthcare, as well as the rapid changes in healthcare technologies, models of care and delivery standards.
