Morgan Ashurst has carried out a preliminary handover of the £12m NHS Rotherham Community Health Centre to its client, St Paul’s Developments. The building on the former Bestobell Valves site next to Bailey House in the town centre, will see the move of a number of community-based services, mainly from Doncaster Gate Hospital. These include a part-time Walk-in Centre, two theatre suites and community dental facilities, as well as departments for podiatry, physiotherapy, contraception and sexual health, speech therapy, audiology and primary ear care. In the New Year, a host of extra facilities will be unveiled. A diagnostics unit – for X-rays, ultrasound and echo-cardiography – will be introduced in February. A GP surgery is also scheduled to open in spring/summer when the Walk-in Centre will be open from 8am-9pm seven days a week for minor illnesses and injuries. The building and a new public walkway follow the same curve shape as the adjacent Sheffield and South Yorkshire Canal and a slanted wall has been shaped to look like the bow of a ship. A striking glass atrium, coloured windows and metallic-look bricks provide the finishing touch. The architect was JM Architects. "This building really does have the ‘wow factor’," says Morgan Ashurst project manager Mark Ladlow. "We are proud to deliver such a modern and well-appointed health care centre to the community in Rotherham." Duncan Smales, project manager for NHS Rotherham, said: "This state-of-the-art building has been specially designed to incorporate a wide range of existing and new health services to meet the health needs of the local population for the 21st century. Its extended opening hours, central location and easy access to public transport links will make the centre easily accessible to everyone."
