The 拢19m Greenock Health Centre will bring together four existing GP practices, district nurses, health visitors, dental and podiatry departments and a number of out-patient clinics. The centre, which has been designed by Hoskins, will also include a new community caf茅. The three-storey building will be built on the former site of Wellington Academy. Work will start this month and is scheduled for completion in August 2020.
The second project, by Keppie Design, forms part of Stobhill鈥檚 dedicated Mental Health Campus on in Glasgow. BAM is set to create an 拢8.5m single-storey building, which will provide residential care for acute admissions and complex clinical care patients. Work will run in parallel with the Greenock project.
Hub West Scotland is delivering the two projects for NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde.
BAM Construction regional director Bruce Dickson said: 鈥淭hese are complex buildings and it鈥檚 taken us several years of working with our consultants, hub West and the NHS to make sure that the design of these projects achieves all of the NHS鈥檚 objectives for 21st Century healthcare provision.
