Outpatients Department, Merlin Park

The primary objective of the Outpatient Department (OPD) was to provide appropriate Outpatient facilities in line with the best international practice for Merlin Park University Hospital (MPUH). The proposed OPD building is designed to improve patient access, flow, achieve segregation of patients and to address the immediate safety and risk concerns about isolation associated with the current outpatient facilities within UHG.

The two storey OPD building is located on the South-West corner of the designated site and is a compact L-shaped building allowing possible phased future expansion to the north and east. Organised from a central focal point on the elbow of plan, the OPD is designed with flexibility in mind to support multi-functional clinics. The clinical facilities and staff support facilities are arranged to suit specific clinical connectivity and adjacency requirements. Natural materials including Oak were introduced providing warm, calming atmospheres helping reduce stress for both patients and staff.
