Biomedical Research Unit, Southampton General

Studio Four have been working with University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust to design the new Emergency Department at Southampton General Hospital.

The project consisted of a new 4-storey extension to the existing hospital and included DTC services, a Day Theatre Unit, an Oscopy Unit, a Cancer Care Unit, Short-Stay and Standard Wards.

The first phase included all the structural elements of the building together with the internal fit-out of the top floor and plantrooms.

Just opened on the 17th August, the new Medical Assessment Unit at St Mary’s Hospital

Following on and adjacent to the completed H and J theatres, the Trust required a dedicated pair of theatres for Paediatrics, along with the support facilities and its own 5 bed recovery.

There is also an adjacent area currently proposed for a future Paediatric Day Unit.

Phase 1a of East Wing Annexe is complete, comprising a floor of treatment and consulting rooms for the Cardiac Outpatients Department and Oncology Department

The first Young Adult Cardiac unit in the country, to provide care for patients with congenital heart problems

The internal refurbishment scheme at Southampton’s maternity hospital was designed to provide extra cot spaces within the existing Neonatal department.

The new cot bays exist in a larger area allowing more space for the nursing staff when treating a single patient.

A new build 3-storey block adjacent to the main hospital providing a new HSDU department on the floor plus additional floor accommodation for a future fit-out.

Although this project was initially part of the Oncology PFI, time pressures demanded that the Clinical Haematology Centre became a stand-alone project. Phase 1 consisted of 9 new Bone Marrow Transplant rooms where a whole floor was required to provide filtered air to each individual isolation room where patients may stay for up to six weeks.
