About QMC Hospital Eguneko Tratamendu Zentroa

QMC Hospitala Erresuma Batuko Nottinghamen dagoen Queens Medical Centre campusean kokatutako eguneko tratamendu zentro bat da. Eraikinak 15 sail ditu, diagnostiko eta ebakuntza-gela suiteak barne, 9.500 metro koadroko bi solairu operatibotan banatuta. Plana atrio zentral baten inguruan antolatuta dago, argi naturala barrualdera ekartzen duena eta jasangarritasun maila altuak sustatzen dituena. Zirkulazio-eremuak beira garden bidez inguratuta daude. Kontsulta-espazioaren azterketa zehatz batek eraikina estandarrek eskatzen dutena baino ehuneko 20 inguru txikiagoa izatea ahalbidetu du.

Production Technology: The building is composed from modern building materials. The circulation areas are celebrated with clear glass. The tunnel connecting the new building to the old is a metal tube with slits that create a rythym of light as you walk along. Another level of research investigated how to provide additional teatments and reduce waiting times.
Design Challenge: The site was an old established hospital campus. The new building had to fit within the overall precinct, but also be a distinct element. Public art was an integral part of the brief. ONE20 established separate Art and Landscape budgets. This ensured that these elements were not lost during construction. The art was procured through design competition. The planning of the building was integral to ensuring a more efficient healthcare process. The design of treatment areas meant waiting times have been reduced and more patients have been seen than in a traditionally planned hospital.
Research: It is now becoming better accepted that natural light can play an important role in speeding up the recovery of patients. The decision was taken to maximise the access to natural light for all patients in the hospital; not an easy thing in a building with such a large footprint.
Inspiration: ONE20 designed this building around the atrium which acts as a focus for all activities and also to deliver high levels of sustainability. By looking creatively at the use of consultation space and agreeing strategy options with the consultant teams, the net building is around 20% smaller than one using standard NHS criteria.
Project Duration: The project is located on the campus of the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham UK Work commenced in 2006 and has bees modified over the past 15 years. The latest work being concluded in 2019
Operation Flow: This is largest independent treatment centre in Britain. The Nottingham Day Treatment Centre is operated for the NHS providing high quality day case procedures. Secretary of State for Health Andrew Lansley, stated "It is providing a good care to patients on the basis of NHS principles. It made a profit of £4 million in the six-month period to 30 June 2013, up from £2.5 million. In 2016, Circle's teledermatology service was awarded a "Clinician’s Choice Award" by private healthcare industry group Hpci Media in the Building Better Healthcare Awards
