The
North Western Health Board ( now HSE ) required a purpose built
Primary Care Health Centre on a prominent Greenfield Site located
on the existing NHWB Campus at Barrack St., Sligo. 3 Local Medical
practices re-located to the building to be integrated with HSE
community facilities under one roof.
Project
Description
The Brief was challenging as the specific needs
of 5 end users ( 4 Clients and the Public ) were required to be met
within a single building on a constricted sloping
site. The Medical
Practice Buildings were conceived as fingers on a hand, radiating
from a communal Public Foyer which is also accessed by the
Community Care Building. Building Area = 4000m2
The entrance to the
building is within easy walking distance of the existing HSE
Building nearby. Escape Stairs to the Medical Blocks double as
coded private access for Doctors from the private parking to the
lower part of the Site. Shared Conference rooms, Archive and
Storage areas are located at Ground Floor level.
