project overview
Pioneering healthcare professional training alongside NHS collaboration
Forming part of the Southgate masterplan, the University of Huddersfield’s Emily Siddon Building is the second addition to the wider National Health Innovation Campus. The transformative project will improve health outcomes and drive innovation in training and diagnostics in the North of England.
The WELL Platinum targeted building, which will join the Daphne Steele Building on campus, will offer approximately 6,800 m2 of teaching and NHS diagnostic space across five storeys.
The specialist facility is a joint venture with Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. It involves providing a Community Diagnostics Centre (CDC), alongside health innovation, teaching in radiography and the capacity for further health trust clients.
The nature of the facility means that the upper floors will be designated for innovative technologies to train students who will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in the CDC with the NHS, which will be housed in the lower levels.
design concept
Harmoniously bridging health, education, innovation and community in one space
The building will be a focal point where health professionals, students, academics and the community come together within the wider context of the National Health Innovation Campus.
The design captures the transformative nature of applied education and learning in a university environment whilst providing much-needed diagnostic facilities to the local community. The flexibility in the design means that the building can continue to evolve to meet the emerging needs of the faculty, making it not only a community-friendly space but a functional hub for Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Trust.
In developing the design, we’ve balanced sustainability, wellbeing and the patient experience as inspiration to shape a scheme which places the users of a building first.
Whilst the interior focusses strongly on these users and their wellbeing, the exterior creates an architecture to compliment Daphne Steele and provide a backdrop for innovation in Huddersfield.
