The interior is designed to be calm and
provide points of interest, with a variety of colours and artwork throughout and natural materials in what might be an otherwise sterile environment. The children’s areas are playfully designed to create delight and distraction, while addressing acoustic needs. A complementary addition to the hospital site Externally, materials have been selected to complement neighbouring buildings with details inspired by historic buildings in Newmarket. The public facing side of the two-storey building is designed to be prominent and inviting, providing a subtlety playful rhythm of vertical elements. A generous canopy guides visitors to the entrance, with colourful features that continue into the interior. Designed to enable modern methods
of construction and future adaptation, the building is coordinated to a consistent grid with windows located on a regular pattern, allowing straightforward replanning of internal spaces. Thomas Osborne, CDC project and endoscopy service manager for the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, said: “This is an exciting opportunity to develop the existing estate for patients at the Newmarket site. The expansion of services will mean closer alignment to regional and national strategy and enable us to deliver more diagnostic
activity. The Medical Architecture team have ensured we had the right stakeholders involved to help keep the project developing at pace and ensured each design process was focused on the best interests of our patients, visitors and staff.” Ruairi Reeves, Director at Medical
Architecture, said: “In the current context of growing investment in community and neighbourhood healthcare, we’ve worked hard with the Trust and the design team to create a
long-term value.” Matthew Clarke, project delivery manager for the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, said: “The expansion of diagnostic services at the Newmarket Community Hospital will provide our communities living in, and around Newmarket, with quicker access to the services they need. With planning now being considered, we look forward to getting on with the project, so our patients get the care they need.”
