Location:

Renfrew Riverside & Scotstoun, Renfrew

Description:

The new 3-storey building provides a modern, flexible, spacious and practical centre with a strong iconic civic presence. It brings together 3 GP Practices, a District Nurse, Health Centre Clinic and Community Dental Service and Social Work, Learning Disability Service, Speech Therapy, Audiology, Podiatry and Physiotherapy Services under one roof.

The building design has been developed around a clear circulation grid with a newly formed public square at the centre. Internally, the circulation route is expressed in the form of a 'public street' from which all functions of the building are interfaced. The 'street' enables building users to very quickly orientate themselves and move through the building whilst also providing connection to the external landscaped courtyards.

Careful selection and use of furniture and plants has created a healing and therapeutic environment.
