Recognised as a centre of excellence for cancer and blood disorder treatment, The Queen’s Centre for Oncology and Haematology at Castle Hill Hospital, Cottingham, in East Yorkshire, has now secured a leading architectural award.
Only completed in June 2008, the facility, at Castle Hill Hospital, designed by HLM Architects, has been selected in the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) annual awards for 2009. The £42 million PFI hospital takes as its design reference the typical East Riding village, enabling it to blend into its surroundings. While the entrance is designed to echo a village hall in appearance and scale, wards and outpatient areas are similar in form to residential cottages.
