Description: The new Woodside Health and Care Centre will offer state of the art, modern facilities accommodating integrated health and social care services improving access and the co-ordination of care.

The interior design of the building is open and bright as there is a growing awareness that a welcoming and therapeutic environment delivers benefits which can impact on health and wellbeing.

Designed by architectural firm Page & Park, the centre has achieved a BREEAM rating of excellent and features a number of notable design elements including the curtain walling, windows and louvres by Marshall Brown, which enhance the look and feel of the building

External cavity walls are formed using a mixture of structural framing system, brickwork and curtain walling. This, along with a glazed central atrium, creates an interior that benefits from natural lighting and ventilation.

The building’s exterior also has a number of precast concrete panels displaying artwork, devised by a local surface design studio.

Stuart Parker, managing director of Morgan Sindall Construction in Scotland, said: “As 21st century healthcare advances, we’re witnessing a growing trend of closer and timely multidisciplinary collaboration between clinicians, which is improving treatment outcomes. Patients too are being rightly encouraged to proactively manage their health and wellbeing holistically.

“Both approaches are greatly facilitated by inspiring modern facilities that bring multiple services under one roof.  Woodside Health & Care Centre is a perfect example of great design applied to the healthcare sector.

“It’s the second healthcare project we’ve delivered for hub West Scotland in partnership with Marshall Brown who’s finished high-quality result is a credit to them, and all their suppliers and is a perfect example of the Morgan Sindall supply chain family at work.”
