a civic presence and a feel of quality in the way the facades relate to the environment.” Similarly, at the New Cancer Centre at Guy’s Hospital,
DfMA prefabrication helped RSHP create cut backs and external terraces that bring in light and allow people to sit outside, which also helped articulate the building and make it less institutional from an architectural perspective. Many of the DfMA innovations introduced at Guy’s and
Alder Hey hospitals will be taken on a stage further on future healthcare projects awarded to Laing O’Rourke and it’s consortium partners. “We’re currently developing designs for the 19,000 sq m
Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in Liverpool, due to start on site in June 2016,” said McArthur. “This will include extensive DfMA, but developing the technology and moving it on. The urban site is driving us more towards a completely unitized approach, to avoid disruption on the roads and complete con- struction within the two-year timeframe. In addition, we plan to use Smartwall, Laing O’Rourke’s fully prefabricated inter- nal partition wall solution, for the first time on a UK hospital.” In addition, DfMA will be implemented on a £270 million
acute district general hospital for NHS Dumfries and Galloway. High Wood Health, a consortium that includes Laing O’Rourke and design partners Ryder Architects and NBBJ, was awarded the construction contract in March this year.
