Broadway Malyan has been appointed to a £73 million project to design a new building for the National Heart Centre Singapore.
Part of the wider masterplanning for the redevelopment of Singapore General Hospital’s Outram Campus, the preliminary designs for the 35,299m² building are set to create the first sustainable Heart Centre in South East Asia with a rigorous environmental, social and economic focus. Designed in conjunction with Ong & Ong Architects, Broadway Malyan’s appointment resulted from our experience in creating award winning healthcare projects
“Combining the skills and sector experience of our colleagues in Weybridge and Singapore has enabled us to produce groundbreaking proposals for this project,” commented Jason Pomeroy, Director for Broadway Malyan’s Singapore office. “The building’s design has been born out of a multi-disciplinary process focussing on the social, economic, environmental and technological requirements of the National Heart Centre Singapore. Fundamental to this is our ethos for the building – Placing People First – a philosophy which will ensure the needs of the individual are met at the Centre in their everyday working, living, playing and healing lives, be they the patient, doctor or visitor. We are confident this innovative approach to design will establish the National Heart Centre Singapore as a world-class facility that will set a global precedent for the sustainable delivery of heart related healthcare.”
Utilising modern methods of modularization to facilitate and ease the speed of construction, it is expected that, subject to planning approval, demolition works for the new Heart Centre will begin in September 2009 with build completion expected in Spring 2012.
