Carmody Groarke has designed an interim Maggie’s Centre offering psychological, nutritional and therapeutic care and social support to patients and their families within the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre. In order to achieve the very tight budget, build very quickly and create a unique identity to the building, as well as make it as energetically efficient and welcoming to patients, they dramatically transformed six redundant site cabins into one single building. Alongside this they repurposed a pavilion that was used for an exhibition display during the London 2012 Olympics. Its magnificent 10m long window forms the centrepiece of the project; the wonderful views of the Wirral landscape. These temporary structures were arranged around existing trees on the site, which were agreed not to be removed for the sake of a temporary building and gave the building its form and identity. This unique use of high design mixed with repurposed materials creates new standards for healthcare buildings.
