UEA Medical Centre, Norwich
As a consequence of the growth in numbers of students at UEA, the existing nursery and medical facilities were both proving inadequate.
The University identified a brief for new, grouped facilities comprising a 10-GP medical practice, a dental surgery, a 106- place nursery, a pharmacy and a launderette.
The largely single-storey building is naturally ventilated, and naturally-lit wherever possible, by means of openable windows and "windcatchers". Glare is controlled through the use of external louvres. The new facility is linked to an extension of the university's system.
