This three-storey extension redefines the hospital’s main entrance, creating a clear, welcoming and highly functional arrival space. Replacing a set-back and confusing access point, the new splayed, glazed façade establishes a strong civic presence and intuitively guides visitors inside. The extension connects directly to paediatrics and parental accommodation, while introducing public amenities including retail, dining and faith spaces. At its core, a light-filled atrium reduces congestion and improves circulation, anchored by a central stair and lift core providing access to upper floors. Shaped through extensive engagement with staff and patients, the design delivers a contemporary, inclusive environment that enhances wellbeing and significantly improves the overall visitor experience.
