The Discovery Building, BioCity

Nottingham is now home to a high-quality, contemporary building for cutting edge bio-science and bio-chemistry research located close to the city centre. The flagship facility contains flexible research space, including a mixture of laboratory, write-up and offices. Additional areas for conference and meeting facilities, supporting the laboratory tenants, are provided at ground floor.

The project is a celebration of Nottingham’s rich bio-science history and creates a new gateway into the existing Bio-City quarter, providing a fitting first node in the eastside development.

Sustainability is an important consideration and the building has a BREEAM excellent rating incorporating renewable

technologies including solar PV. Power and heating are provided by the district heating system and a solar screen, designed by the artist Wolfgang Buttress, is provided to control thermal gain and glare.

Building users and passers-by will benefit from much-needed external amenity space which helps to establish links to the eastside of the city centre.

The Discovery Building

Cripps Health Centre

The project replaces the existing Cripps Health Centre to provide a holistic approach to primary health and dental care for the university and wider community, catering for over 40,000 patients. The building includes GP consulting rooms, 4 bed Observation Room, Physiotherapy Room, Enhanced Procedures Rooms, Treatment Rooms, Mental Health Rooms a Seminar Room, 8 Dental Treatment Rooms and a Commercial Pharmacy.

The GP and Dental accommodation are located in separate wings, which pivot along the contours from a shared double-height central space which hosts the entrance and reception functions. The space between the wings is used as a wellbeing garden.

The patient-focused rooms take advantage of the vista across the campus and the clinical back of house facilities are located facing the grass banks towards the North.

The pharmacy is independent of the wings and occupies a prominent and accessible position towards the car park.

A natural material palette compliments the rich green context and the existing building materials located adjacent to the site.

Orthopaedic TheatresMore patients can be seen and treated at Nottingham City Hospital, thanks to a scheme designed by CPMG.

The orthopaedic operating suite was procured under the P21+ process, comprising of four orthopaedic theatres. An admissions area, including reception, offices, 15 changing rooms, a recovery area, 17 recovery bays, loading areas, a sterile storage space and a plant room were also incorporated into the design.

One of the key benefits of the project was its role in supporting the trust’s wider strategy to develop the Major Trauma Centre at Nottingham University Hospital, separating elective and emergency work by hospital campus.

Placing the facility on one site has enabled clinical efficiencies as part of the Better for You

Productive Orthopaedics project. The project has also introduced the concept of ‘anaesthetic overlap’, separate preparation rooms, patient admissions and recovery areas attached to the theatres and allowing better organisation of the theatre environment in modern facilities.

As a result of the development, the number of cases handled can be increased by 1,293 per year, helping improve facilities for patients and save the NHS money.

St. Ann’s Joint Service CentreA project between Nottingham City Council, Nottingham City NHS and CPMG has realised designs to help redevelop the Robin Hood Chase area of St Ann’s in Nottingham.

The new Joint Service Centre incorporates three GP practices, primary care trust facilities, youth and child outreach, meeting rooms and open plan office for staff users, Nottingham City Homes, a community library, and a third party pharmacy.

The overarching design approach was inclusivity, providing all community members with accessible amenities and services in a welcoming setting - activity in and around the site is critical to create a sense of safety.

Internally the open plan arrangement encourages people to make use of all the facilities

and services available in one visit, complemented with thoughtful interior design. At the heart of the building sits the principal circulation core with a feature staircase and two glazed lifts which provide access to the first floor accommodation.

The proposals included extensive enabling works including highway closure and reconfiguration, site remediation, extensive utilities diversion and a 5m retaining structure.

The buildings provide a range of facilities including GP and dental practices, counselling rooms, physiotherapy and health education suites, phlebotomy clinics, ultrasound surgeries, and minor injury and multipurpose clinics.

Additional space is provided for office spaces, meeting rooms and

welfare facilities. All the buildings are characterised by visitor-friendly reception spaces with help desks, clear wayfinding and an abundance of natural light.

The LIFT programme has made a significant impact, by increasing the services which can be provided to local communities and also through wider social regeneration.

Aston CSC

The Aston Joint Service Centre (JSC) showcases the concept of improving public access to services through the concept of a building that offers a single point of contact not only for Local Authority Services but also for access to a wider range of community services including a new Health Centre, Pharmacy and Library.

The Centres have been a huge success in providing 2500sqm of space for council service delivery to the local community in an informal, modern and efficient way.

This building has instantly become a local landmark standing out in crisp black and white brickwork; it also embodies current thinking in sustainable design, taking advantage of maximised daylighting, super-insulation, high thermal mass, natural ventilation and renewable energy technology

in the form of a roof mounted photovoltaic array.

Location: Rotherham

Value: £7m

Centuria SouthThe Sports and Health Sciences department at Teesside University has benefitted from a £12.4 million makeover. Featuring a dental school, lecture rooms, sports and physiotherapy laboratories, a hydrotherapy pool, offices and informal work and social spaces, the new building will bring state of the art facilities to students at Teesside. The design features two separate entrances to the building - one for members of the public accessing the dental clinic, and one for university staff and students. The design complements the existing Centuria Building and the two facilities are linked by a dramatic four-storey atrium space, forming a new heart to the expanded School of Health. Sustainable design features have been introduced throughout the

building to minimise its impact on the environment. These include a CHP facility linked to the hydrotherapy pool, exposed thermal mass, hybrid natural ventilation for offices, classrooms and laboratories and maximisation of natural daylight throughout.

Centuria South

Dorothy Goodman SEN School

Dorothy Goodman School accommodates approximately 50 pupils aged 5 to 14 years, with profound and multiple learning difficulties. The new facility, in line with Leicestershire’s inclusion policy, has been built in the grounds of an existing secondary school, and the importance of links between the two schools has been fundamental in the design of the school.

The main communal facilities, such as the hall and hydrotherapy pool, have been placed on the Stoke Road frontage, to maximise community access and provide the scale for a bold visual statement.

The school offers specialist facilities such as a hydrotherapy pool, multi-sensory stimulation, and a soft play

area, as well as community and parent support facilities.

Student Health CentreStudents at the University of Sheffield are benefiting from an award-winning health centre within the city centre campus.

The building accommodates 12 GPs, provides additional facilities for nursing and community health staff, a minor operating theatre, patient waiting area, administrative areas and an independent pharmacy.

Designed over two storeys, the centre is a bold, contemporary, visually-striking building inside and out. Two blocks of accommodation sit either side of a double height waiting area. One block contains the consulting rooms with the other housing administration and staff facilities.

The interior is very bright and cheery, with high-quality interior detailing and roof lights allowing

daylight deep into the building heart. As a result of the sloping site it has been possible to slide the pharmacy under the main building incorporating it into the retail streetscape.

The centre is highly energy efficient with a natural ventilation system and solar shading used to avoid overheating and the project won a Yorkshire RIBA award.

Surgical and Outpatients Building

Location: Papworth Hospital

Value: £2.5m

Papworth Hospital, located in Cambridgeshire is the UK’s main heart and lung transplant centre. To increase the number of surgical procedures performed each year, new accommodation was required.

CPMG designed the new ward which provides level 1 inpatient accommodation as an extension to the current ward. Including an additional 12 single bedrooms with en-suites, staff base, utility rooms and associated ancillary spaces, the new facility is located at first floor level to allow connectivity with the existing ward.

Improved patient flow and the introduction of the ‘productive ward principle’ allowing better working and patient care environment while plant and large scale storage space is located at ground floor.

The Ear Foundation TrustCPMG has been a long term supporter of the Ear Foundation charitable trust in Nottingham which deals with cochlear implants for profoundly deaf children. With support from CPMG, the charity sought help to provide additional space for its work.

The new headquarters for the Ear Foundation has been developed in two phases and locates a new two-storey building adjacent to the charity’s refurbished listed house, all within a walled garden.

The centre is very residential in scale and feel – partly due to its adjacency to the Georgian House, but fundamentally due to the need to create somewhere comfortable and reassuring for children.

The charity helps children to experience their new sense of

hearing in comfortable and friendly surroundings that are sensitive yet stimulating. The original facility incorporates space for fundraising, administration, pre-operative assessment, post-operative evaluation and rehabilitation of young children on the cochlear implantation programme, alongside flexible space for seminars and social events.

The second phase, developed due to the success of the charity’s operations, included a learning centre, technology suites, therapy rooms and office accommodation.

Maternity UnitNottingham City Hospital is changing the way mothers and their babies are cared for. CPMG worked closely with the hospital to design a maternity unit incorporating a 52 bed patient hotel.

It was the first of its kind in the country to provide a patient hotel to supplement the ward accommodation - allowing mothers to exercise free choice during their stay in hospital with hotel-style service.

Used by second time mothers and oncology patients who need to be based at the hospital for extended treatment, the unit includes a children’s play area adjacent to the ante-natal clinic creating a relaxing space with landscaping and an extensive lawn.

The building comprises an antenatal clinic, a labour suite, two operating theatres, a neonatal unit, an obstetrics and gynaecology department, ward accommodation and central administration and is designed on a 15 metre deep plan form around two courtyards. The wards contain teaching spaces for midwifery students and the neonatal department is a regional centre for neonatal care with hotel bedrooms for parents within the department.

Castle Wood SEN SchoolCPMG was appointed by Coventry City Council to deliver the first phase of its Inclusion and SEN Strategy to transform special schools in Coventry. The aim was to provide high quality, state of the art provision for the most severely disabled pupils in the east of the city offering increased opportunities for social and educational integration.

The £9m primary special school is co-located with Moat House School, a mainstream primary school, which includes a Children’s Centre, also designed by CPMG.

The Broad Spectrum Primary School provides 3,750 square metres of accommodation and replaces two existing special schools, Hawkesbury SLD School and Deedmore MLD School.

The design of the special school explored the potential to develop facilities that mainstream pupils could use to encourage an inclusive whole-school approach. These facilities include a sensory room, hydrotherapy pool, soft play facilities and outdoor learning environments.

Co-location with a mainstream school provides increased opportunities for pupils to share resources and activities. The new building has also been designed to ensure it retains its separate identity and can run independently.
