Maggie’s North East Cancer Care Centre, designed by Cullinan Studio, has opened within the grounds of the Freeman Hospital in the UK.

Incorporating modern technologies and architectural specifications, the cancer care centre features bespoke design elements, which are used to achieve the highest BREEAM rating.

The centre features thin-film photovoltaic panels, which have been incorporated into a dramatic concave curved roof. The roof has been used as a shelter to a mezzanine level that leads out onto a flat landscaped roof for patient recreation. The concrete exposed frame and weathered steel panels of the centre have been surrounded by natural landscaping, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

In addition to that it features a partially enclosed courtyard, which leads into two wings of accommodation with counselling rooms, library, large living room, and kitchen area.

Mansell served as the general contractor for the project.
