Partners Heart of Birmingham teaching Primary Care Trust, NHS South Birmingham, BaS LIFT, and Prime, have signed contracts to deliver the new £13 million Attwood Green Health Centre to replace Colston Health Centre on Bath Row in Birmingham.
The 4,500 m2, six storey-building will bring together a wide range of health and care services. Two GP practices will relocate to it, along with a new NHS dental service, onsite pharmacy, nursing, physiotherapy, outpatient clinics, speech and language services, a “stop smoking” clinic, and sexual health services. The building will also accommodate the new offices of BaS LIFT Co and a range of wider PCT teams. Serving a current patient population of nearly 13,000, the centre is being developed to support the community’s rapid growth, with capacity to accommodate more clinicians and potentially increase the patient population to around 16,000. Healthcare specialist One Creative Environments has designed Attwood Green Health Centre to mirror the tall urban skyline along Bath Row, with striking Trespa resin fibre facade panels and strong use of glazing to create “a landmark building”.
