Dawlish Community Hospital
Client: South Devon Healthcare Trust
Project Value: £2.8 million

The development, detailed design, construction and operation of this £2.8m Community Hospital was undertaken by Sir Robert McAlpine.

This was an important project for establishing new partnership arrangements within the local health community in South Devon, so integrated working with all stakeholders was implemented from the start with particular emphasis on the Trust personnel.

Percy Thomas Partnership utilised their research into "how to make hospitals last longer" when compiling the specification for the project as a whole. This covered many issues including room sizes, materials and whole life cost issues. Sustainability and consideration of environmental matters were carefully reviewed and implemented where possible.
