This project brings together a number of complimentary community resources under one roof: combining a health centre and pharmacy, with a new library and children’s centre.

A visit to the doctor’s could be combined with a visit to the library. A parent taking one child to the crèche may need to take another to the baby clinic. After a visit to the doctor there will be a pharmacy on the doorstep for prescriptions. The idea is to offer an integrated approach to people’s needs – a building that truly serves the diverse, but interrelated needs of the local community.

Set in the heart of Pelsall alongside the Common this new building offers a bright and welcoming entrance space. People arrive at the centre of the building in the new library. Adjacent to the library they will find the children’s centre and primary care clinical facilities. On the first floor there are further clinical facilities and four GP surgeries, arranged around a waiting room - a high, top lit space with views out towards the common.

The building received a Civic Trust Regional Award in 2016 and the West Midlands Built in Quality Awards Community Winner in 2013.
