Editor's Notes

  • #56 ……..around a central core with green (garden /light) spaces either side.
  • #57 The various segregations of flow work with this and give us two large garden spaces between the public circulation. These enhance the overall building feel and way finding
  • #58 Combine clear form, derived from internal function and external site
  • #59 The lower levels of the building are the clinical areas. They are arranged ………
  • #60 Below the inpatient levels is a service floor. This allows the structure and column spacing to be different in the wards than it is for the clinical areas. It is also the horizontal FM distribution floor level, separating FM distribution from Clinical and visitor circulation
  • #61 We have just talked about the upper levels of the building
  • #65 Looking back through the atrium, can see it’s a public space with arts and café, also the bridge link to CCU and obvious vertical circulation
  • #76 The lower levels of the building are the clinical areas. They are arranged ………
  • #81 This waiting area looks both into a garden and also into the buzzing atrium
  • #82 Below the inpatient levels is a service floor. This allows the structure and column spacing to be different in the wards than it is for the clinical areas. It is also the horizontal FM distribution floor level, separating FM distribution from Clinical and visitor circulation
  • #86 We have just talked about the upper levels of the building
  • #88 Lets start the presentation with the patient bedrooms These have been designed to maximise Views in and out with lots of daylight. There are window screens for privacy if required 50 % of the views directly from the rooms will be over Liverpool
  • #90 Rooms being side by side with nested ensuites give best views in and out but can result in long boring corridors. To negate this the ward layout is canted. This canted arrangement provides daylight into the centre of the wards and views out over Liverpool. In addition, the corridors have points of interest along them and staff touchdown bases per pair of rooms, Here you can see how the corridor is broken up and how the touchdowns ensure visibility of the patients. If you looked along the coridoor……….
  • #91 How are the wards arranged? 4 wards per floor Separation of primary flows Public and clinical lifts in the centre FM at the outer edges
  • #92 In addition, all the wards will have their own identity with Legible and welcoming ward entrances
