East Riding of Yorkshire Community Hospital

The new community hospital for East Riding includes provision for outpatients, minor injuries and out of hours, and diagnostics, as well as incorporating a 30-bed inpatient ward, and six palliative care beds. Office and training facilities are also provided for the various community health services which are integrated into the facility to provide enhanced care.

We place people and the local environment at the heart of our designs. With its location presenting some unique challenges, including the flooding potential of the River Hull, our design creatively responds to these constraints creating swales to act as natural defences to rising flood water and also ensured that we created a landscape which supported and strengthened local wildlife diversity as well as preserving the ancient hedgerows on and surrounding the site.
