Bristol Haemotology and Oncology Centre

2007 - 2010

The project transformed patient and staff experience of the building, providing much improved reception, clinical and treatment facilities. The work was undertaken in 13 phases, with the hospital remaining fully operational throughout the works. Patients and staff were consulted throughout the design process. A linked 'arts project', for the commissioning and installation of artworks in the building, ran concurrently.

The main entrance areas were completely redesigned with colour scheme and materials being chosen in close consultation with user groups. Innovative storage, seating and colour change LED light fittings were incorporated to produce a welcoming and engaging environment.

The contract was largely funded by the Above and Beyond Charity (www.aboveandbeyond.org.uk), with help from The Friends of BHOC. Additional funding for improvements to fire safety were provided by the employer, University Hospitals Bristol.
