East Lothian Community Hospital

Health Haddington

The new East Lothian Community Hospital has been built within the existing Roodlands Hospital campus in Haddington.

A significant constraint imposed on the design was the requirement to ensure continuation of clinical services throughout the construction of the new hospital. This required a detailed review of existing clinical services and infrastructure to allow us to develop a robust development control plan that identified key clinical and operational functional requirements and to carefully consider all decant and demolition works. A phased demolition strategy is currently being developed to ensure safe segregation of hospital and construction activities.

The Eric Gray @ Seafield Centre

Health Seafield, Lerwick

The Eric Gray @ Seafield Centre is a facility that provides a range of day care support for the increasing number of adults having a complex mix of needs varying from people presenting with autistic spectrum to those having profound disabilities. The remote location of Shetland necessitates that the local authority client provide a comprehensive range of services for a relatively small population.

RG Architects set out to design a low key building that that makes a positive contribution in the landscape at a transitional place between the built environment and rural landscape. There was an awareness of a need to provide a building that is very accessible, stimulating and readily understood by people moving their way through the facility.

Meeting the aspirations of the service model shaped the design response of a pinwheel plan that has ancillary room at core and naturally lit occupied perimeter rooms and naturally lit circulation. The projecting spines of this layout contribute to defining external recreation spaces and creating shelter from the various wind directions. The internal circulation routes have generous width and height, which enable people with mobility or behavioural issues to pass unhindered. Circulation is lofty and top lit to enable changes daylight to flood into the core of the building. Bold graphic and colour contrast contribute to place making within the building. Facilities include sensory rooms, an art room, inset floor level trampoline, physiotherapy room, workshops, a training kitchen, external recreational spaces, pavilion shelters, and a polytunnel for gardening.

Softwood timber kit frame and trusses were specified as an economic method of construction that as is well understood among island contractors and also has scope for kit prefabrication on the island which adds value to the local economy.

The Bellfield Centre

Health Stirling

The Health and Care Village is a joint venture between NHS Forth Valley, Stirling Council, the Clackmannanshire and Stirling Integration Joint Board and the Scottish Ambulance Service.

The development includes a new GP and Minor Injuries Centre, the Bellfield Centre (which provides short-term care, rehabilitation and assessments), a refurbished outpatient centre and a new base for the Scottish Ambulance Service which has relocated from its previous site in the Riverside area of the city.

The Bellfield Centre has been built to support older people with short-term care, assessment or rehabilitation. With capacity to care for 116 people across four short-stay areas, the centre will also provide support for people with dementia and those requiring palliative or end of life care.

The purpose-built facility also includes a café, hairdresser, retail space, landscaping and areas for use by local community groups and volunteers. With work complete on the build phase, health and council staff will now fit out and equip the care areas, offices and communal areas over the coming months ahead of services transferring from other facilities in the region.

The project – led by hub East Central Scotland – has seen Robertson take on a variety of roles. In addition to serving as main contractor, it has provided investment funding while its timber engineering business is designing, supplying and installing a range of elements.
