Approval for St Mary’s outpatients revamp
W
estminster City Council has resolved to grant permission for a new outpatients building
at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington. Designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley
Studios, the 17,547sq m development will bring together services currently spread across 40 different locations and will include associated works regarding access, servicing and patient drop-off facilities. The building will replace the existing
Salton House, Dumbell and Victoria and Albert buildings on the eastern side of the hospital estate. Using best practice in design and
technology, the scheme will enhance the patient and staff experience as well as providing flexibility for future changes in service provision. Located in a prominent position on
Praed Street, it will also become a recognisable cornerstone marking the entrance to the St Mary’s campus from the east. The eight-storey design aims to
activate the ground-floor space with a central courtyard opening onto the adjacent streets. Hospital-related retail and café areas
and strategically-positioned circulation cores will also contribute to the integration of the building with the surrounding streets. And a central atrium, carved out of the heart of the building, will offer

daylight and orientation at all levels. Sculpted glazed ceramic panels are
used on the external elevations to give the building a defined identity, reflecting light in a narrow streetscape. The design has been developed on
the understanding that it will be the first part of a wider masterplan which will ensure the hospital can continue to successfully operate as the major acute facility for north-west London. Michele Wheeler, director of
redevelopment at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, said: “This new development is vital to help us meet the changing needs of our patients and will allow us to provide the very-best care by taking advantage of the latest medical technologies and practices. “It will also make visiting outpatients
a more-convenient and welcoming experience as we replace ageing buildings that are inefficient and costly to maintain.” Sara Gohmann, partner at Feilden
Clegg Bradley Studios, added: “This has been a key project for the practice in the healthcare sector – a carefully-designed building that will substantially upgrade St Mary’s outpatients facilities and will create a new carefully-crafted addition to the surrounding neighbourhood.” The building is due for completion
in 2020.
