It’s been fantastic to hear the positive response to Parkhead Hub, a new Health and Social Care Hub in Glasgow’s East End.
Parkhead Hub is the largest Health and Care centre built according to the 2015 Primary Care Reference Design principles, a model that has redefined health and social care service delivery in Scotland. The project exemplifies a holistic approach to healthcare design, combining primary care, mental health and addiction services, homelessness support and community wellbeing in one location.
The building and site layout are focused around four key people-focused outdoor spaces that encourage varied use and activity. The building’s intuitive layout is organised around three courtyards each tailored to adjacent public or patient services, with these integrated green spaces softening the clinical environment.
A new public plaza marks the entrance to the hub and is a valuable addition to the public realm in this area of the city, offering a generous flexible space for community events, raised beds and planting, and south-facing seating for people to pause and socialise.
We are pleased to say that Parkhead Hub has taken home several awards, a credit to everyone involved in each aspect of this brilliant project, as well as the value of investment in high-quality places for healthcare:
