Basingstoke & North Hampshire Hospital, Candover Clinic

We were appointed to provide the detailed MEP design and construction phase duties for the new consultants’ facility at the Basingstoke & North Hampshire Hospital. The project delivered a stylish new private patients’ facility, incorporating 12 Consulting rooms, each with a Secretary’s office. The facility has an X-Ray department, treatment rooms and support staff offices.

The specification was enhanced to provide a comfortable & calming ambience, which included a coffee bar and a large atrium style waiting area. The rooms were provided with a mixture of natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation via local ducted heat recovery units located in the ceiling void, providing heating and cooling via an electric VRF air-to-air heat pump system, significantly reducing the carbon emissions. The X-Ray facility was provided with a separate supply and extract AHU ventilation system mounted on the roof.

As part of the Consultants’ Facility, an enabling works package had to be delivered to ensure the building had sufficient power, gas and water. A full feasibility study was undertaken, and RIBA Stage 3 & 4 reports were produced with complete budget costs to establish how the hospital could provide this service.
