The project was one of three buildings in Tranche 1 of the Barnsley NHS Lift development programme and comprised the construction of a new largely single storey building on a brownfield site close to the town centre.

 

The centre was developed to coordinate healthcare provision in Thurnscoe and brought together three G.P. Practices, a Pharmacy and PCT facilities including Physiotherapy, Audiology and Podiatry into the same building.  This significantly improved primary care in Thurnscoe by providing enhanced therapy and clinical facilities in a quality environment.

 

The building is arranged in zones with all public accessible spaces on the ground floor and staff spaces on the first floor.  A main central reception area on the ground floor leads to the G.P. Clinical Suites, PCT Treatment Suites, Therapy Suites and other specialist services.  A large multi purpose space is available for sessional use such as baby clinics and can be segregated for use out of hours.

 

The project was carried out on a partnering basis using steel frame and masonry construction.

 

Floor Area – approx 1800 sq metres
