New Regional Cancer Centre for Humberside and North Lincolnshire providing cancer and haematology services on one site at Castle Hill Hospital.
The HLM scheme encompasses 6 linear accelerators, together with Outpatients and a Day Hospital, 100 beds in 4 wards and Pathology, Pharmacy and Medical Physics facilities. The building is located in a rural setting on the edge of the main hospital site, cascading down a northerly hillside to provide panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The masterplan concept creates themed courtyards surrounded by the buildings. Each is individually designed to provide stimulating outdoor spaces and assist orientation. The lower gardens to the wards are domestic in design to aid recovery with parkland of native planting beyond.
