From the provision of M&E services employing latest technology in renewables and sustainable design to drawing on the company’s vast lab and clinical expertise the projects detailed below will undoubtedly enhance Silcock Dawson’s already impressive client and project portfolio.
Cecily Saunders Institute of Palliative Care
Silcock Dawson is providing a new build facility to house the first Institute of Palliative Care in the world.
The building will house academics, researchers and carers, and will accommodate patients suffering with serious or life threatening diseases. The premises will also provide facilities for patients’ families to visit on a regular basis.
The engineering services design strategy is based around using as much natural ventilation as possible and to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible.
It is expected that the Institute of Palliative Care will be viewed as a landmark building providing palliative care research facilities.
Currently palliative care services are accessed predominately by those diagnosed with cancer. The voluntary sector provides the majority of specialist palliative care and research into this sector is seen as essential in this relatively new area of medicine.
