Richard Hutchinson, a Partner and director of LOM Architecture and Design, discusses the practice’s design of a new Care and Rehabilitation Centre (CRC) for the Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People (QEF) at its site near Leatherhead in Surrey.
Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People (QEF) is a national disability charity with more than 85 years’ experience of providing innovative, expert services for disabled children and adults, enabling people to live as independently as possible. The charity recently opened a new Care and Rehabilitation Centre (CRC) at its site near Leatherhead in Surrey. This purpose-built centre provides modern and comfortable facilities that enable the charity to provide expert neurorehabilitation and nursing care for people following an acquired brain injury, stroke, or neurological condition. The CRC has 48 spacious en-suite bedrooms, a large physiotherapy gym and additional therapy rooms, along with communal recreation and dining areas. The centre is set within beautiful Surrey countryside, with easy connections to the local towns of Leatherhead and Stoke D’Abernon. LOM Architecture and Design was involved from the earliest stages of the project, helping QEF to develop a new building that balances the demands of providing expert care with the more holistic needs of QEF’s clients.
