Peterborough City Hospital
Bretton Gate, Peterborough, United Kingdom
The newly built Peterborough City Hospital has been specifically designed to tailor to the sensory needs of patients. Completed at the end of last year, the 612-bed NHS hospital was designed by healthcare specialists, Nightingale Associates.
Nightingale Associates’ design is patient focused to not only facilitate a good standard of care, but also to create a more comfortable environment. Informed by the practice’s research into ‘Sense Sensitive Design’, emphasis has been placed on colour, views, natural light and artwork.
A major feature of the ward design is the new Nightingale ‘Cruciform’ 4-bedded bay that creates a large personal space around each bed and maximises the availability of daylight.
Custom designed wayfinding artwork inspired by local heritage has been installed in order to help users navigate through the immense hospital and add to the general aesthetic of the building.
Contributions from the local community have been incorporated into the design. Winning entries for a local photography competition and artwork by local schoolchildren have been used in the building. Also, thanks to a partnership with the Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery
The new hospital has strong links to the community thanks to a partnership with the Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery. Photographs for the reception areas were selected through a regional competition, and some of the artwork was produced by local schoolchildren.
The windows are strategically located to ensure green views are available, and where this was not possible, sedum roofing and courtyard installations have been installed to enhance the patient vista.
Now fully operational, the hospital accommodates cancer, cardiology, adult and paediatric emergency centres and a dedicated women and children’s unit.
