This project evolved from a masterplan for the site prepared by us in 1999 and was aimed at maximising the delivery of healthcare services within the Devon and Cornwall areas. To deal with increased demand on operating theatres, a new theatre suite was added to the existing department at Nuffield Health in Plymouth.
The technical solutions involved a steel frame over-ceiling to an existing stores facility and careful management of the works to maintain the full operation of the hospital. ADG were also appointed to manage and negotiate appraisals from the CQC across all the RIBA work stages.
Nuffield Health Exeter appointed us to lead a team of consultants and designers for a major capital project to increase the capacity of their existing building by 36%.
As design proposals evolved extensive negotiations were required with the Local Authority, the site lying within an important Conservation Area.The completed facilities include a new outpatients unit, enlarged physiotherapy department, new pathology department, additional theatre suite and a high dependency suite. The hospital was fully occupied throughout the building works.
Our work has also taken us to Taunton. The first project for this small local hospital was an extension to an existing ward, providing eight additional ensuite patient rooms. We were then commissioned to remodel and extend the physiotherapy department, pathology unit and theatre change. A later stage of self-contained remodeling created a new aesthetics department from under utilised space. Most recently we have been supporting an initiative to upgrade the existing theatres, including major works to mechanical and electrical installations.
We have also worked with the Wessex hospital on a project involving the extension and re-modelling of their existing hospital to create an additional operating theatre, outpatients department, day-case unit, MRI suite and an enlarged physiotherapy department.
The new accommodation includes patient rooms, medical secretary accommodation and specialist consulting space. Construction work was undertaken while the hospital remained fully operational.
