National University Hospital – Remodeling
(In collaboration with Broadway Malyan Asia Pte Ltd)

Year: 2013

Region: SINGAPORE

National University Hospital (NUH) is set on a relatively steep site on a north-south axis stepped into the hillside, commanding good panoramic views to the north and east, and comprises broad building blocks constructed in the period from 1960’s to the present decade;

For Phase I remodeling of NUH, the project involved the introduction of a naturally lit atrium and public concourse. Having to carry out the remodeling works within an existing live hospital posed a lot of challenges as its existing operations are ongoing and there are inpatients and wards for which all their internal procedures are to be allowed for 24/7, 365 days a year.

Year: 2015

Region: SINGAPORE

Awards:

  • (2017) BCA Construction Excellence Award (Institutional Building)
  • (2015) BCA Universal Design Mark Award – GoldPLUS (Completed Built Development)
  • (2014) BCA Universal Design Mark Award – GoldPLUS (Design)
  • (2014) BCA Green Mark Award – Platinum
  • (2014) BCA BIM Award – GoldPLUS

The new Integrated Building is a 280-bed facility set up to bridge the gap between services provided by the Changi General Hospital and the St. Andrew’s Community Hospital. Catering to patients who may be in acute condition but require long-term care in rehabilitative settings, the environment was designed to be patient-centric, age-friendly, flexible and sustainable.

It was developed along the concept of “Village Community” where conducive home-like environment that help optimise patients’ recovery and independence were interspersed amongst generous therapy gardens, preparing the patients for an optimal transition back to home.

Key Features

  • Seamless connectivity to the other parts of the campus is achieved with accessible covered link-ways from the public bus-stop to the shared canopy with CGH Main Building on ground level. Link-bridges connect the new building to existing CGH at levels 2, 3 and 4 for ease of patients transfer amongst the 3 buildings.
  • The design is Patient Centric where its planning ensures ease of travel to, within and between clinics for users through intuitive way finding. This allows for stress-free and integrated care environment for all users – patients, visitors, care-workers, and the general public.
  • The design takes into account the dynamism of demand and the probability of future use/changes in clinical requirements in a hospital with modular/standardised layout to achieve adaptability.
  • Various pockets of landscape spaces are created to promote conducive environments as well as offering outdoor respite to patients and gathering spaces for visitors.

It was developed along the concept of “Village Community” where conducive home-like environment that help optimise patients’ recovery and independence were interspersed amongst generous therapy gardens, preparing the patients for an optimal transition back to home.

Design has been therefore developed around this duality of program (clinics/office) and context (New building/Extension from Old building). The design of Medical Centre takes into account the dynamism of demand and the probability of future use/changes in clinical requirements in a hospital with a modular/standardised layout achieving adaptability.
