Project Fact Sheet

Project Name: TB clinic

Location: C Block

Stage: Construction

Sponsor: Carol Gillen

Programme Manager: Mike Veale

Project Manager: Alessandro Annunziata

Director of Estates: Phil Ient

Project Update:

• Project to be completed in April 2014

• In Defects until April 2015

Project Brief:

In 2011 North Central London Commissioning group stated its intentions that the provision of

non-inpatient adult TB services would be reviewed and the feasibility of rationalising and

relocating the Royal Free Hospital, UCLH and Whittington TB services to form one centralised

service would be explored.

The new service will deliver joint working with RFH and UCLH to deliver a collaborative

approach to provide the newly commissioned service.

Construction works to create adequate clinical areas and storage spaces for effective delivery

of services.

• Structural alteration

• Heating installation & Mechanical

ventilation

TB Clinic – Project information This project consists of the refurbishment of an empty store into a new tuberculosis clinic.

The architectural and engineering design has been focused on the potentiality of the

property to maximize energy efficiency and sustainability, reducing building’s energy

consumption over its lifetime.

Lighting is essential for human health and well-being because it determines our circadian

rhythm, influences our mood and changes the atmosphere around us.

The main characteristics of this project are as follows:

� The natural lighting has been explored to provide the best possible solution for

utilising daylight through the replacement of the existing roof lantern, keeping high

ceiling and fitting a new skylight to create a tunnel of the light from the pitch roof;

� Internal windows into the corridor spreads natural light into the internal rooms that

are disadvantaged being without windows;

� Natural ventilation during the summer without using air-conditioning;

� New Air Handling Unit provides mechanical ventilation and dilute tuberculosis

bacteria inside the clinic and eliminate the risks of contamination of clinical staff;

� The Sputum induction room is a safe area for clinical staff because it has the

highest rate of air extraction and it is isolated from other ductworks;

� Improvement of the fabric of the building with new insulation of the flat roof and of

external walls to save energy during the winter and avoid the installation of air-

conditioning to cool the clinic during the summer;

� Temperature of all the rooms are electronically controlled by thermostatic sensors

providing heating or activating natural ventilation opening the windows of the roof

lantern;

� Rain sensor closes the windows of the roof lantern automatically in the event of the

rain;

� The artificial lighting design enhances the natural light and the ambient illumination.

All the down light luminaires are high efficiency LED lamps, Low-glare and

maintenance-free with an extremely long life of 30,000 hours;

� The decorative luminaires and the ceramic tiles in the reception and in the corridor

creates spectacular effects and guides the patient inside the clinic eliminating the

classic hospital and medical environment;

� The reception and the waiting area give the visitors their first impression of the TB

clinic and contribute to the Whittington Hospital`s brand image. The two arches has

been restored as the original design creating a new point of view walking through

the main corridor. The reception desk has been designed as a curved shape in

white high tech surface (Corian) to give a warm welcome to the public and is

friendly for wheelchairs users;

the design and delivery of future buildings thus enhancing designers’ knowledge, please
