QUEENS FOOT GUARDS - MEDICAL and DENTAL CENTRE
DESCRIPTION: It is proposed that the MoD Baird Medical and Dental services located in NHS St Thomas’ Hospital will soon be moved and co-located with Wellington Barracks (home to the Queen’s foot guards); The existing medical and dental centre at Wellington is located within a "Brutalist" building (BLDG 5), which will become solely dental services, while the combined medical facilities will move into a single floor of “Main Centre Block” building (BLDG 7) which is currently being used as offices; BLDG 7 is a classical style Grade II* Listed building designed by Sir Francis Smith and Philip Hardwick and opened in 1833. | To free up space for the new facilities in BLDG 7, the existing Foot Guards Bands offices will be relocated; The architectural designs cover a wide range of clinical spaces, including: Consult/examination rooms, nurse clinic, audiology, pharmacy/dispensary, staff and patient welfare areas, dental surgeries, CSSD, administration areas, etc.| Restricted space within both buildings meant that strategic thinking, knowledge of clinical design and experience with both JSP scales and clinical guidance (HTMs, HBNs & ADB codebook) were key to the development of a compliant facility.| Location: MoD Wellington Barracks, London, UK. | Client: DIO | Value: £4M | DIO Delivery Framework | Role: Design Lead and Employer’s Agent under D&B
